Description

Eutectic indium–gallium alloys exhibit superior properties for cooling high-precision high heat load beamline optics, including high thermal contact conductance, extremely low vapor pressure, and excellent vibration decoupling. These remarkable properties make them central to current cooling solutions, which primarily involve In–Ga bath and gap cooling schemes. However, challenges such as thermal stability and bubbles accumulation remain. To address these, we built an in-situ system for simultaneous measurement of thermal contact conductance and bubble behavior, offering key guidance for enhancing cooling reliability.
