1. SQUID-magnetometer MPMS-XL5
SQUID-magnetometer
("Quantum Design", ÑØÀ)
is intended for magnetic properties investigation (magnetization
and magnetic susceptibility) of samples with small value of
magnetic moment.
Measurements can be provided with different materials: single crystals, polycrystalline samples, thin films, powders et al.
Basic technical characteristics:
- range of measurement of the magnetic moment ±5 EMU;
- differential sensitivity ≤10-8 EMU at the measurement of magnetic moment of sample in a field up to 0,25 Òesla and ≤2•10-7 EMU in a field up to 5 Òåslà;
- magnetic field range ±5 Òåslà;
- temperature range from 1,9 to 400 Ê;
- temperature stability for sample space ±0,5%.
The equipment has a few additional options:
à) for magnetic anisotropy studies - automatic device for horizontal (from 0° to 360°, increment = 0,1°) or vertical (±360°, increment = ±0,1°) sample rotation
á) Fiber Optic Sample Holder (FOSH) for magnetooptical investigation
