Popis: The paramagnetic salts, eg alums, usually employed in adiabatic demagnetization experiments are inconvenient because of their tendency to dehydration, etc. The refractive oxides with magnetic impurities seem to be more favourable. The authors describe the results obtained with Er 3+ and Nd 3+ substituted yttrium aluminium garnets (YAG). Final temperatures reached after adiabatic demagnetization are comparable to those obtained with cerium magnesium nitrate. The paper illustrates the possible use of Er 3+ and Nd 3+ substitued in YAG for creating a very simple device for obtaining low temperatures in the mK region by adiabatic demagnetization.
