We present a parallel network of 16 demagnetization refrigerators mounted on a cryofree dilution refrigerator aimed to cool nanoelectronic devices to sub-millikelvin temperatures. To measure the refrigerator temperature, the thermal motion of electrons in a Ag wire -- thermalized by a spot-weld to one of the Cu nuclear refrigerators -- is inductively picked-up by a superconducting gradiometer and amplified by a SQUID mounted at 4 K. The noise thermometer as well as other thermometers are used to characterize the performance of the system, finding magnetic field independent heat-leaks of a few nW/mol, cold times of several days below 1 mK, and a lowest temperature of 150 microK of one of the nuclear stages in a final field of 80 mT, close to the intrinsic SQUID noise of about 100 microK. A simple thermal model of the system capturing the nuclear refrigerator, heat leaks, as well as thermal and Korringa links describes the main features very well, including rather high refrigerator efficiencies typically above 80%.

Fragile quantum effects such as single electron charging in quantum dots or macroscopic coherent tunneling in superconducting junctions are the basis of modern quantum technologies. These phenomena can only be observed in devices where the characteri
stic spacing between energy levels exceeds the thermal energy, $k_textrm{B}T$, demanding effective refrigeration techniques for nanoscale electronic devices. Commercially available dilution refrigerators have enabled typical electron temperatures in the $10$ to $100,$mK regime, however indirect cooling of nanodevices becomes inefficient due to stray radiofrequency heating and weak thermal coupling of electrons to the device substrate. Here we report on passing the millikelvin barrier for a nanoelectronic device. Using a combination of on-chip and off-chip nuclear refrigeration, we reach an ultimate electron temperature of $T_textrm{e}=421pm35,mu$K and a hold time exceeding $85,$hours below $700,mu$K measured by a self-calibrated Coulomb-blockade thermometer.
Temperature below 100 microKelvin is achieved in a customized cryogen-free dilution refrigerator with a copper-nuclear demagnetization stage. The lowest temperature of conduction electrons of the demagnetization stage is below 100 microKelvin as meas
ured by a pulsed platinum NMR thermometer and the temperature can remain below 100 microKelvin for over 10 hours. An up to 9 T demagnetization magnetic field and an up to 12 T research magnetic field can be controlled independently, provided by a coaxial room-temperature-bore cryogen-free magnet.
The frontiers of quantum electronics have been linked to the discovery of new refrigeration methods since the discovery of superconductivity at a temperature around $4,$K, enabled by the liquefaction of helium. Since then, the advances in cryogenics
led to discoveries such as the quantum Hall effect and new technologies like superconducting and semiconductor quantum bits. Presently, nanoelectronic devices typically reach electron temperatures around $10,$mK to $100,$mK by commercially available dilution refrigerators. However, cooling electrons via the encompassing lattice vibrations, or phonons, becomes inefficient at low temperatures. Further progress towards lower temperatures requires new cooling methods for electrons on the nanoscale, such as direct cooling with nuclear spins, which themselves can be brought to microkelvin temperatures by adiabatic demagnetization. Here, we introduce indium as a nuclear refrigerant for nanoelectronics and demonstrate that solely on-chip cooling of electrons is possible down to $3.2pm0.1,$mK, limited by the heat leak via the electrical connections of the device.
We constructed a $^3$He magnetic force microscope operating at the base temperature of 300 mK under a vector magnetic field of 2-2-9 T in the $x-y-z$ direction. Fiber optic interferometry as a detection scheme is employed in which two home-built fibe
r walkers are used for the alignment between the cantilever and the optical fiber. The noise level of the laser interferometer is close to its thermodynamic limit. The capabilities of the sub-Kelvin and vector field are demonstrated by imaging the coexistence of magnetism and superconductivity in a ferromagnetic superconductor (ErNi$_2$B$_2$C) at $T$=500 mK and by probing a dipole shape of a single Abrikosov vortex with an in-plane tip magnetization.
We describe the development and performance of an ultra-high vacuum scanning tunneling microscope working under combined extreme conditions of ultra-low temperatures and high magnetic fields. We combined a top-loading dilution refrigerator and a stan
dard bucket dewar with a bottom-loading superconducting magnet to achieve 4.5 days operating time, which is long enough to perform various spectroscopic-imaging measurements. To bring the effective electron temperature closer to the mixing-chamber temperature, we paid particular attention to filtering out the radio-frequency noise, as well as enhancing the thermal link between the microscope unit and the mixing chamber. We estimated the lowest effective electron temperature to be below 90 mK by measuring the superconducting-gap spectrum of aluminum. We confirmed the long-term stability of the spectroscopic-imaging measurement by visualizing superconducting vortices in the cuprate superconductor Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+delta}$.
