MPMS3 SQUID Magnetometer

This state-of-the-art Magnetic Property Measuring System (MPMS) from Quantum Design is outfitted with a Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID). Samples ranging from single crystals to powders and including air sensitive materials can be loaded for analysis with an applied field between -7 to 7 T (-70,000 to 70,000 Oe) generated from the superconducting magnet. The magnetic field can be set to 0 ± 0.5 Oe with basic control, and using the Ultra Low Field (ULF) option can set a zero field of 0 ± 0.05 Oe. The sample temperature range is 400 K down to 2 K. The Vibrating Sample Magnetometry (VSM) option achieves magnetic moment sensitivity of 10-8 emu. Additionally, an electron transport option is in the works and will be up and running shortly.
