Quantum Design MPMS SQUID MagnetometerThe Quantum Design MPMS SQUID magnetometer is used for magnetism studies of solid-state samples. The SQUID is in Dr. Thomas Pekarek's lab in the physics department, bought after an NSF-MRI grant (DMR-9975887). It includes a 7 Tesla magnet, and is capable of measurements in the temperature range of 1.8 - 400K. The SQUID will be upgraded in the Fall of 2016 with an AC susceptibility system, as well as different pressure cells for magnetometry under pressure up to 20 GPa, after a recent NSF-MRI award to Drs. Pekarek, Lampropoulos, and Gasparov (DMR-1626332). Liquid Helium is provided by the UNF Physics department He Liquefier and recovery system.

Quantum Design Physical Property Measurement System (PPMS)The Quantum Design Physical Property Measurement System (PPMS) is used for magnetic, electrical, and spectroscopic measurements. The PPMS is in Dr. Thomas Pekarek's lab in the physics department. This versatile instrument is currently used for dc/ac/thermal transport measurements and heat capacity measurements. It is equipped with a 9T magnet, and includes a horizontal rotator and several sample holders. Liquid Helium is provided by the UNF Physics department He Liquefier and recovery system.
