Measurements Techniques

Dozens of measurement techniques can be performed at the MagLab's seven user facilities, many at multiple facilities.

To learn more, follow the links below to find the measurement technique you are looking for. To find a specific magnet by measurement technique, use the magnet and measurement technique search.

Dielectric Measurements


Dilatometry

A capacitive dilatometer measures a change of sample dimension by monitoring the capacitance between two parallel plates.

Phase transitions that produce small length changes (even on the order of nanometers) due to thermal expansion or magnetostriction can be resolved by making contact between the tip of a miniature piezo-resistive cantilever and a sample.


Electrical Transport

The user can place small samples into an inductor (i.e., coil) of an LC tank circuit oscillating at a resonant frequency.
