PPMS and MPMS

In september 2006 PPMS and MPMS instruments from Quantum Desing have been installed in the new joint laboratory of IEP SAV and FS UPJŠ. PPMS will operate with magnetic fields up to 9 T measuring thermodynamic and transport properties, while MPMS will provide DC and AC magnetometry in the fields up to 5 T and in very low fields.

MPMS (Magnetic properties measurement system): Maximum sample size: 9 mm Field uniformity: 0.01% over 4 cm Temperature range: 1.9 – 400 K
MPMS OPTIONS: SQUID AC Susceptibility Measurement (*) - 0.1Hz to 1KHz; sensitivity: 2 x l0-8 emu at 0 T
• Ultra-Low Field Capability (*) ±0.05 G for the 5 T or 7T magnets • Reciprocating Sample Option (RSO) - DC Magnetization absolute sensitivity: 1 x 10-8 emu@ 2,500 Oe • Continuous Low Temperature Control/Temperature Sweep Mode (CLTC) - Sweep rate: 0.001 - 10 K/min Leader: Jozef Kováč
PPMS (Physical properties measurement system): equipment for automated measurement of physical properties in temperature range: 2 – 350 K in magnetic field up to 9 T Temperature Accuracy: 0.5% @ 0 T Sample Size: 1 to 500 mg; 20 mg typical Heat Capacity Range: 1 mJ/K to 100 mJ/K Resolution: 10 nJ/K @ 2 K electrical resistivity, Hall voltage Voltage Noise: 0.5 nV/ 0.5 nV/ Hz @ 1 kHz Voltage Sensitivity: 1 nV Current Range: 10 mA to 2 A (500 mA continuous) Frequency Range: 1 Hz to 1 kHz Leader: Gabriel Pristáš
