Measurement Options

Heat Capacity

The Heat Capacity option for the PPMS will run fully automated relaxation heat capacity measurements under high-vacuum.

• Measures sample masses from 1 to 500 mg

• Resolution of 10 nJ/K at 2 K

• Heat Capacity brochure

AC Susceptibility

The AC Measurement System (ACMS) option can perform both AC susceptibility and DC magnetisation measurements without changing between hardware. A single automated measurement system is capable of both.

• AC frequencies from 10 Hz to 10 kHz and field amplitudes from 0.05 Oe to 15 Oe

• AC susceptibility measurement sensitivity of 1 x 10-8 emu at 10 kHz

• DC magnetisation measurement sensitivity of 5 x 10-6 emu

• ACMS brochure

AC Transport

The AC Transport (ACT) option support four different automated electrical transport modes: AC resistivity, five-wire Hall effect, I-V curves and critical current measurements.

• Two samples can be loaded simultaneously
  

• Current range of 10 μA to 2 A

• Sensitivity of 1 nV at 1 kHz
  

• Operational frequency range of 1 Hz to 1 kHz

DC Resistivity

The DC Resistivity option adds resistance bridge capabilities to the instrument providing four independent channels for van der Pauw and four-wire resistance measurements.

• Up to three samples can be loaded and measured simultaneously

• Current range of 5 nA to 5 mA

• 20 nV sensitivity
  

• DC Resistance brochure
  

Ferromagnetic Resonance

The Cryo-FMR probe enables measurement of the Ferromagnetic Resonance (FMR) response of a material at variable temperatures and sample orientations parallel or perpendicular to the DC field.

• Operational temperature range of 2 K to 400 K

• Operational field range of 0 to 9 T
