Quantum Design DynaCool PPMS

D21 Clark Hall 

The DynaCool system represents Quantum Design’s latest generation of physical property measurement system, featuring a fully cryogen-free cooling system, allowing the following environmental parameters:

  • Temperature range of 1.8 – 400 K (standard hardware)
  • Magnetic field range of -9 to 9 T
  • Vacuum (~10-5 torr) operation available
  • VSM Oven accessory extends upper temperature limit to 1000 K

The system is equipped with the Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) measurement option for DC moment measurement, with built-in software modules for measuring M vs. H and M vs. T curves.  Measurements can be performed on film, powder, or small bulk samples.  Both standard and large-bore measurement coil sets are available depending on sample size.  Standard precision is ~1×10-6 emu for standard bore, and can be improved by increasing the measurement integration time.
