Johnson Noise Thermometry GSECARS

Overview 2004: –3 rd year of Getting’s P, T Calibration Project) –Preparation for JNT migration from UC Boulder to GSECARS, Chicago –Evaluation of electrical noise in 13-ID-D 2005: –Development of high P cell at GSECARS, continued bench test at Boulder (varying R only) –First high P test at Boulder (July), w/o JNT, for TC noise assessment 2006: –Jan - First JNT test at high P, discovered JNT circuitry problems, preamp filters added –Mar – JNT migrated to GSECARS –Nov – Takeshi Sanehira Joined GSECARS working on JNT 2007: –Jan – John Labenski (post-doc prospect) visited GSECARS, and worked with crew to solve ground loop problems –High P JNT tests throughout the year, with inconsistent results 2008: –JNT tests continue, results still inconsistent –Preparation for pyrometry using radiospectrometry –Nov – Takeshi to leave GSECARS

Difficulties in high P JNT tests Ground loop issues – eliminated floating voltages at microV level Electrical noise from equipment – all unnecessary equipment turned off, shielding, grounding Power supply – “clean” transformer, power conditioner to eliminate any frequencies other than 60 Hz Contamination in cell assembly – no glue, no acetone, all parts fired at 900C for 1 – 2h. Numerical filtering to eliminate 60 Hz harmonics in the JNT signal Non-white noise at high temperature persists (usually above 300C)

High P tests results Varying R only (bench) Wide variation in slope in various runs, cannot be contributed to electrical noise alone. Overall, slopes appear to become shallower with time (Data legends in order of time: In situ Varying T mainly

“Bench test”: varying R only Bench tests (varying R only) show no significant change in slope over time

Relative T determination Assuming that a reference T 0 is known, from Wien’s approximation The ratio of two observations is a straight line give by the J (λ, T) function (Yagi and Susaki, 1992) in the J -  plot, where ω(λ) = C 2 /λ. And the slope of the line is -1/T. J (λ, T) = -(1/T)  (λ)+ln[ε(λ,T)/ε(λ, T 0 )] = ln[I(,T)/I(,T 0 )] - (1/T 0 ) ω( ) I (λ, T) = F( ) C 1 ε(λ, T)λ -5 /exp(-C 2 /λT) I (λ, T 0 ) =F  ) C 1 ε(λ, T 0 )λ -5 /exp(C 2 /λT 0 )

Outlook Obtained optical windows (single-crystal diamond) for DIA cells between 12 and 6 mm edge length (P up to ~8 GPa) Tests under way for both W/Re and Pt/Rh thermocouples One technical paper currently in prep. Expect to obtain data up to 8 GPa and ~1800 K by Nov, 2008, results will be out 2009
