THE APPCS: A POWERFUL, CRYOGEN-FREE PLATFORM

The core of the APPCS is a cryogen-free cryostat that provides a stable, low-vibration environment for high-sensitivity measurements.

• Wide Temperature Range: Operates from <= 1.5K up to 400K.

• Excellent Stability: Maintains temperature stability of +/- 2 mK (below 10K).

• High Magnetic Fields: Available with a range of solenoid magnets (5T, 7T, 9T, 12T, 14T) or vector magnets (up to 9-2-2 Tesla and 12-3 T).

• Spacious Sample Area: Features a 50 mm diameter variable temperature insert (VTI).

• Low Noise (Optional): An optional vibration isolation system achieves 0.5 Å noise levels.

  
  

ONE SYSTEM, MANY MEASUREMENT OPTIONS

You can configure your APPCS with one or more of our modular options to create a system that does exactly what you need.

Vibrating Sample Magnetometry (VSM)

• High Sensitivity: 5E-7 emu RMS sensitivity.

• Accuracy: <1%.

• Sample Size: Accommodates 5 mm or 12 mm diameter samples.

• Advanced Analysis Software: The Windows-based software automatically calculates key parameters like Coercive Field (Hc), Saturation Magnetization (Ms), and Remanent Magnetization (Mr). It also supports advanced measurements like Minor loops, FORC, Delta M-Henkel plots, and Rotational Hysteresis.

Electrical Transport (AC/DC) & Hall Effect This option provides comprehensive tools for AC and DC resistance measurements.

• DC Resistance / Hall Effect:

• Current Range: 150pA to 1A.

• Voltage Range: 100mV (100nV resolution) to 100V (10µV resolution).

• Resistance Range: 5µΩ to 10GΩ.

• AC Resistance / Hall Effect:

• Current Range: 2nA to 100mA.

• Frequency Range: 1Hz to 1kHz.

• Low Noise: 1nV/Hz noise floor at 1kHz (with low noise voltage preamplifier).

AC Susceptibility (ACMS)

• Sample Size: Max 5 mm diameter.

• Frequency Range: 10Hz to 10kHz.

• AC Field Amplitude: 2mOe to 15Oe.

• Sensitivity: 2 E-7 emu (at 10kHz).

Low Temperature Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) Add powerful nanoscale imaging to your system.

• Modes: Includes MFM and AFM capabilities.

• Temperature Range: 1.5K to 400K.

• Low Noise: 1fm/VHz noise level.

• Integration: Can be integrated with an optical microscope.

Low Temperature Scanning NV Centre Microscope This option provides cutting-edge magnetic field imaging.

• Temperature Range: 10mK to 300K.

• Scan Area: 30µm x 30µm x 15µm @ 4K.

• Key Features: Includes a High NA Objective (0.82NA), APD for single photon detection, 532nm SLM 10mW Laser, and an integrated RF antenna for ODMR.
