16 Tesla Quantum Design PPMS Superconducting Magnet (SCM7)

16 Tesla Quantum Design PPMS Superconducting Magnet (SCM7)

This is a standard Quantum Design Physical Property Measurement System (PPMS). Sample environment includes magnetic field up to 16 tesla and temperature range of 1.8 – 400 K.

The Quantum Design PPMS is a variable temperature, high magnetic field system that currently allows electric transport and magnetometry (VSM). Sample environment includes magnetic field up to ± 16 tesla and temperature range of 1.8 – 400 K and comes equipped with electric transport and magnetometry (VSM) measurement options.

Specs

  • Maximum Field: 16 tesla
  • Sample space: 25 mm
  • Homogeneity: 1000 ppm
  • Number of input and output leads possible: 12*
  • Frequency: 10 – 60 Hz (VSM)
  • Temperature Range: 1.8 – 80 K

  • DC Electrical Conductivity SCM7 is setup for DC electrical conductivity using 4-point resistance measurements within the range 10 micro Ohms to 5 Mega Ohms
  • Vibrating Sample Magnetometer The system is equipped with the Quantum Design Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The magnetic moment of your sample should be greater than 10E-6 emu to be detected by the VSM.

  • Rough vacuum: Approximately 10 Torr of He-4 exchange gas remains when the sample chamber is pumped and purged at room temperature.
  • Ultra high vacuum: The sample chamber is exposed to a cryopump when lower pressure (~ 0.1 mTorr) is needed to decouple a heat capacity platform from the rest of the sample environment.
