Popis: The device described is designed to cool samples with liquid nitrogen to T=−165°C during low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) studies at an ultra-high-vacuum MALTIPROBE Compact system (Omicron) and versions thereof equipped with a scanning tunneling microscope and an LEED system. The efficiency of the system is demonstrated using the example of a low-temperature 2×1 ↔ c(4×2) phase transition on a (100)-oriented silicon surface observed using the LEED technique.
