Quantum Design's Magnetic Property Measurement System (MPMS) is a suite of analytical instruments designed to study the magnetic properties of experimental samples. Measurements can be automated and performed across a range of temperature and magnetic field strengths. Although this and the DynaCool™ share some functional overlap the MPMS instrument can obtain higher resolution measurements using a Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) in combination with superconducting pickup coils. The system is also capable of much faster field charging and temperature cooling rates.
All instruments are available for responsible users to test their own samples. Training is offered quarterly for the more complex instruments and users may self train on the other instruments any time. More information
There are specific insurance and liability requirements for off-campus facility users. They are described at this link: Non-UCSB Use of MRL Facilities
All people working in the TEMPO lab are required to follow good practice and to have already attended the UCSB EH&S Laboratory Safety Training. Contact Amanda Strom or 805-893-7925 for more information.
