Abstract

This chapter describes cryostats dedicated to X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) studies at cryogenic temperatures. The first section lists the reasons for exposing a sample to cryogenic temperature in an XAS study and the requirements in terms of temperature range and temperature stability. The second section is focused on the specific technical constraints linked to low-temperature XAS studies. The final section describes some of the main cryogenic technologies used at XAS facilities and discusses their respective advantages and disadvantages.
