Dynacool PPMS

PPMS

Description

The Quantum Design Physical Properties Measurement System (PPMS) represents a unique concept in laboratory equipment: an open architecture, variable temperature-field system, designed to perform a variety of automated measurements. Use the PPMS with its specially-designed measurement options. Sample environment controls include fields up to ±9 tesla and temperature range of 50mK - 300 K. Measurement types are:

  • Vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) for measuring the magnetization of a materials
  • AC and DC transport for performing resistivity, simple hall effect, Van Der Pauw Hall, I-V curve tracing and critical current measurements.
  • Magneto-optical measurements.

Capabilities

  • temperature range:  50mK to 300K
  • Magnetic field Range:  -9T to 9T
  • Maximum sample size for electrical measurements
    • Sample sizes up to 1in diameter
    • Standard sample size is 0.4in x 0.5in
  • Maximum sample size for Magnetic measurements
    • Power samples: up to 5.0mm3
    • Solid samples: up to 3mm x 7mm
