Liquid Nitrogen
This facility maintains a 230-liter supply of liquid nitrogen. Researchers can transfer LN2 to their dewars (typically 1-30 L) as needed and are billed per liter.
MPMS SQUID
The MPMS XL SQUID magnetometer from Quantum Design offers advanced performance in all areas of magnetometry. The Quantum Design MPMS XL uses a Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) magnetometer to detect minute changes in magnetic flux and measure the magnetic properties of samples. The system offers user-friendly automated software, a dynamic temperature range, and a sensitivity of 1x10-8 emu. Data can be collected as magnetic moment vs temperature measurement (ZFC-FC, susceptibility) or moment vs magnetic field (hysteresis loops).
4.5 T magnetic annealing system
This annealing system combines high-temperature annealing with a high magnetic field to potentially modify the magnetic properties of thin films and alloys. The system uses exchange interactions at high temperature to form new magnetic phases and/or control crystal growth.
