The subject of invention is a temperature (T) and temperature gradient (dT/dz) in millimetre-size samples. The meter according to the invention takes measurements of temperature and temperature gradients via measurement of nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) frequency of ▫$^{35}$▫Cl in NaClO▫$_3$▫ or KClO▫$_3$▫. According to the invention, at least one 1 to 2 mm▫$^3$▫ size mono-crystal of NaClO▫$_3$▫ or KClO▫$_3$▫ is applied, around which a small solenoid, part of the input oscillatory circuit of an NQR spectrometer, is wound. The measurement can be carried out also, when the said solenoid is wound directly around the measuring space itself, where feasible. In case several crystals are applied, temperature can be measured on more locations simultaneously. If local coordinates of sensors are known, temperature gradients can also be determined from temperature shifts of NQR ▫$^{35}$▫Cl shifts. By using an elongated sensor, temperature gradient can be determined directly from the NQR line broadening.
F.33 Slovenian patent
COBISS.SI-ID: 15097177During last 9 years, since we purchased a new QD SQUID susceptometer and established CMag, experiments were conducted on the system for more than 80 % of all time (24h/day, 7 d/week). Since 2009 we have expand our expermintal facilities with a new system for physical properties measurements: QD PPMS.
