We review the principles, techniques and results from primary acoustic gas thermometry (AGT). Since establishment of ITS-90, International Temperature Scale 1990, spherical quasi-spherical cavity resonators have been used to realize AGT in temperature range 7 K 552 K. Throughout sub-range 90 < T 384 K, at least two laboratories measured (T − T90). (Here is thermodynamic T90 on ITS-90.) With a minor exception, resulting values T90) are mutually consistent within 3 × 10−6 T. These measurements...
In 2011, a working group of the Consultative Committee for Thermometry published their best estimates differences between thermodynamic temperature T and its approximation (T90), according to International Temperature Scale 1990, ITS-90. These consensus estimates, in combination with measurements made accordance ITS-90, are an important alternative primary thermometry those requiring accurate temperature. Since there has been change definition kelvin significant improvements thermometry....
Diamond samples of defects with negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers are promising solid-state spin sensors suitable for quantum information processing and highly sensitive measurements magnetic, electric, thermal fields at the nanoscale. A diamond defect an NV center is unique its robust temperature-dependent zero-field splitting Dgs triplet ground state. This property enables optical readout electron states through manipulation state using microwave resonance from 100 K to...

A typical solid-state quantum sensor can be developed based on negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV−) centers in diamond. The electron spin state of NV− controlled and read at room temperature.

We review recent determinations of the Boltzmann constant kB and differences T − T90 that used cylindrical acoustic gas thermometry (c-AGT). These measured resonance frequencies argon enclosed by metal-walled, cavities. (Here, is thermodynamic temperature on International Temperature Scale 1990, ITS-90.) In range 234–303 K, standard uncertainty c-AGT ranges from 1.9 × 10−6T to 2.6 10−6T. This much smaller than errors in ITS-90; therefore, can help improve ITS-90. Moreover, we are extending...
Relative primary acoustic gas thermometry (AGT) determines the ratios of thermodynamic temperatures from measured and microwave resonance frequencies in a gas-filled metal cavity on isotherms interest. When with known dimensions, resonances determine speed sound, which is function temperature T. Changes dimensions are using cavity's resonances. We explored techniques materials for AGT at high cylindrical remote transducers. used ducts as waveguides to transmit sound between transducers room...
