Description

The National Physical Laboratory [NPL] requires a cryogen-free low-temperature and high magnetic field system capable for the measurements of multiple physical properties of materials and devices.

It's automated of the various advanced expandable design combines many features in one instrument, including magnetic AC and DC magnetic susceptibility and electrical transport measurements as well as ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and optical measurement, with no need for liquid cryogens (cryogen-free). The setup needs to be able to work in a wide range of magnetic fields and temperatures.
