The PPMS 14T is a versatile instrument designed for magnetic, thermal and electric measurements in a controlled temperature-field environment. PPMS specially-designed options include AC and DC magnetometry, heat capacity, thermal transport, DC resistivity and AC transport. Helium-3 refrigerator option allows continuous temperature operation down to 0.35 K. It is designed for heat capacity and resistivity measurements. A transverse susceptibility option has been developed in the Service using the Multi-Function probe from QD.
In addition to these options, a high-resolution AFM/MFM (Atomic and Magnetic Force Microscope), designed by NanoScan Ltd., fits perfectly into the PPMS, thus providing a versatile nanoscale imaging tool in a variable temperature (4 K – 400 K) and magnetic field environment (up to 14 T).
Basically, this system integrates a precision temperature control unit (1.9 K – 400 K) with a Continuous Low Temperature Control System, and a high-field superconducting magnet (±14 Tesla); in this basic environment the measurement options are installed. The software, running within Windows environment, allows full automation of all system parameters while controlling measurements and making data collection.
