Log here the cooldowns: Name_setup/Date-start/He-level start/He-level end/Sample/T-range/Magnetic field range/Date-end/Notes. Under “Notes” report whether He has been refilled during the cooldown. End date is defined when the sample/insert is taken out to air.

S-STM	federica	06-02-07	0	0	several	300	6.6 10-8	none	18-02-07	initial testings
S-STM	federica	19-02-07	0	0	MoGe/Au(50nm) old cap layer	300	6.6 10-8	none	22-02-07	further testing of the scanner.
S-STM	federica	26-02-07	0	0	MoGe/Au(50nm) 230207	300	6.6 10-8	none	16-03-07	further testing. Problems with signal stability. No scanning possible. Change tip. Succeded, but when mounting the sample back the sample-holder holder comes loose! UHV have to opened again!
S-STM	federica	april-07	0	0	n.a.	300	A.P.	none	end may-07	repair of sample and tip holders. “Upgrade” of the Z-motor spacers into a frame that provides mechanical stop mechanism to avoid spring deformation during tip exchange. New coarse approach “policy”, see blog.
S-STM	federica	08-06-07	0	0	several	300-100	5 10-10	none	04-07-07	Successfull, until problems with tip/sample transfer interrupt the run. Lowest T reached is 100K
S-STM	federica	beg-09-07	–	–	several	300-90	4 10-10	0-7	nov-07	successfull but still using “bad method” to change tip/sample by “grabbing” the insert using un-wanted friction between the 1K shield and the he-3 shield
S-STM	federica	01-02-08	–	–	several (LCMO)	300-1K	4 10-10	0-7	03-04-08	successfull, used mostly as variable T above 90K. Condensed once. Several modifications were done to the system -before cooling, at the beginning of the year- which worked after all! (see blog)
S-STM	federica	28-04-2008	–	–	several (LCMO and MoGe)	300-0.3	4 10-10	0-6	27-06-2008	very successfull, reached 0.3 K 2 times, measured MoGe gap. Some problems with 50Hz at very low biases.
S-STM	federica	08-10-2008	–	–	MoGe,NbGe,STO/YBCO/Au	2-0.3	3.5 10-10	0-5.5	19-12-2008	Very successful run: 1. worked for 2 months between 0.3 and 2K. 2. Measured MoGe, NbGe gaps. Imaged vortices in both. Observed ZBP in YBCO, in filed too up to 5T
S-STM	federica+simon	22-01-2009	–	–	YBCO on STO, H-HOPG, PdFe/Nb	0.3K-2K	2.5 x 10-10	0-8	29-04-2009	Very successful run ends after 3 months because of problems with the coarse approach - TiC coating of the slider is completely worn after 1.5 yrs of continuous usage…
