Cryogenics Facility


Liquid Nitrogen
A 230-liter supply of liquid nitrogen is maintained at this facility. Researchers can transfer LN2 to their own dewars (typically 1-30 L) as needed and are billed on a per-liter basis.
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 monitor very small changes in magnetic flux and to measure the magnetic properties of samples. The system offers a user friendly automated software, a dynamic range in temperature 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 film and alloys. The system makes use of exchange interactions at high temperature to form new magnetic phases and/or control the crystal growth.
