Description

The University is looking at purchasing a Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) magnetometer for the Physics department. The instrument will be used by researchers within Durham, along with those based regionally and nationally, to support
activities involving magnetism in key growth areas such as topological and skyrmion systems; low-dimensional and molecular magnetism; thin films and nanostructures; novel oxides and chalcogenides; and superconductivity. The instrument should perform DC and AC magnetometry measurements on a single platform over a temperature range of 2 to 400 K in applied fields of up to 7 T. It should be cooled using an integrated pulse tube cryocooler system with no requirement for liquid cryogens.
