MPMS SQUID VSM Temperature Control After Bill of QD, 2006 MPMS SQUID VSM Temperature Control Feature: RapidTemp Temperature Range: 1.8 K to 400 K Cooling Rate: 30 K/min (300 K to 10 K stable in 15 min.); 10 K/min (10 K to 1.8 K stable in 5 min.) Temperature Stability: +/- 0.5% Temperature Accuracy: lesser of +/- 1% or 0.5 K Sample Chamber I.D.: 9 mm
MPMS SQUID VSM Magnetic Field Control After Bill of QD, 2006 MPMS SQUID VSM Magnetic Field Control Feature: QuickSwitch Magnetic Field Range: -70 kOe to +70 kOe Field Uniformity: 0.01% over 4 cm Field Charging Rate: 4 Oe/sec to 700 Oe/sec Field Charging Resolution: 0.33 Oe High-Tc Magnet Leads: Reduce Liquid Helium Boil-off 磁体电感:30 H; 磁体电源:3.0 V B/I Ratio:150 mT/A
MPMS SQUID VSM Measurements After Bill of QD, 2006 MPMS SQUID VSM Measurements Feature: FastLab Maximum DC moment: 10 emu Sensitivity: < 1 x 10-8 emu @ zero field (4 sec. averaging); < 5 x 10-8 emu @ 70 kOe (4 sec. averaging) Variable drive amplitude: 0.1 to 5 mm (peak-to-peak) Variable drive frequency: 5 to 80 Hz (optimized at 28 Hz)
After Bill of QD, 2006 MPMS SQUID VSM Power Requirements: 190 VAC - 240 VAC; 50-60 Hz; 1-phase Liquid Helium Usage: 4 liters/day (typical) + 0.05 liters per sample cooldown Liquid Helium Capacity: 65 liters Liquid Nitrogen Usage: 5 liters/day (typical) Liquid Nitrogen Capacity: 60 liters Maximum Hold Time: 12 days (typical)
Sensitivity After Bill of QD, 2006 NiFe thin film from NIST The quality of moment versus field data, at 5 K for a NiFe thin film sample provided by NIST, is shown. The left inset illustrates the reproducibility in coming from 2 kOe to zero field. The right inset demonstrates in particular the small field setting resolution of the new SQUID-VSM magnet power supply. Data Acquisition The FastLab data acquisition combines Quantum Design’s dc SQUID sensor and novel Vibrating Sample Magnetometer technology thus providing the ability to achieve <1 x 10-8 emu sensitivity at zero magnet field with 4 second data averaging. Further noise reduction in the design allows this system to achieve an unprecedented <5 x 10-8 emu sensitivity with 4 second averaging at the full field of 7 tesla. NiFe thin film from NIST RMS noise < 10-8 emu @ 4 sec average
Speed and Sensitivity After Bill of QD, 2006 400 data points A fast scan of the moment versus field, at 5 K for a NiFe thin film sample provided by NIST, is shown. The inset illustrates the speed of the measurement process and the higher resolution data at the lower fields. rough comparison of stable vs sweeping fields for 4-quadrant 1 tesla M(H) loop shows that stable mode presents a good “sensitivity vs time” tradeoff: stable (400 points) : sensitivity < 4e-8 emu ; time = 65 min sweeping 20 Oe/sec (2000 points) : sensitivity < 3e-7 emu ; time = 33 min Magnetization measurements Feature: SQUID based VSM FastLab™ Maximum DC moment: 10 emu Sensitivity: < 1 x 10-8 emu @ zero field (4 sec. averaging); < 5 x 10-8 emu @ 70 kOe (4 sec. averaging) Variable drive amplitude: yes Variable drive frequency: yes 400 data points < 10 sec for each data point

Magnetic field control Feature: QuickSwitch™ Magnetic Field Range: -70 kOe to +70 kOe Field Uniformity: 0.01% over 4 cm Field Charging Rate: 4 Oe/sec to 700 Oe/sec Field Charging Resolution: 0.33 Oe zero field to 7 tesla in less than 2 minutes variable charging rate down to 4 Oersted per second
Temperature Control 10 K – 2 K 2 minutes 300 K - 10 K 10 minutes After Bill of QD, 2006 Temperature Control 10 K – 2 K 2 minutes The cooling performance and low temperature stability of the SQUID-VSM is shown. In 10 minutes, the chamber goes from 300 K to a stable 10 K. From 10K to a stable base temperature of 1.8 K takes about 2 minutes. Temperature Control The MPMS SQUID VSM uses the newly designed RapidTemp an innovative temperature control design that allows you to cool samples from room temperature to a stable 1.8 K in 30 minutes. The temperature control insert of the MPMS SQUID VSM is a vacuum-insulated chamber into which cold helium can be drawn, through a variable flow valve, for purposes of cooling the sample chamber inside to temperatures as low as 1.8 K with pumped helium. A finely-tuned flow impedance and sophisticated temperature control software allows continuous operation at 1.8 K as well as smooth temperature control through the 4.2 K liquid helium boiling point. Heaters on the sample chamber can raise the temperature as high as 400 K. A thermal shield, anchored to a liquid nitrogen tank, intercepts heat from a warm sample chamber and minimizes consumption of liquid helium when operating at higher temperatures. By flattening the thermal gradient along the cold end of the temperature control insert, this shield also allows the entire insert to be constructed with a relatively short geometry, minimizing heat capacitance and enabling rapid temperature control. 300 K - 10 K 10 minutes temperature range: 1.8 - 400 K

M(T) Validate Thermometers After Bill of QD, 2006 M(T) Validate Thermometers In order to validate the accuracy of the thermometry, a pure indium sample was mounted on a quartz paddle with GE7031 varnish. After cooling to 2 K, a very small field is applied to observe the superconducting transition. The accuracy of the thermometer and in particular the lack of frictional heating validate the low temperature measurement process. A 99.999% pure Indium wire sample (literature: Tc = 3.40 K)
Sensitive M(T) Transitions After Bill of QD, 2006 Sensitive M(T) Transitions Change in moment is 1x10-7 emu In order to demonstrate the sensitivity for small changes in moment, the magnetization versus temperature is examined for a small piece of the thin wire used in the SQUID gradiometer. The wire was attached to a quartz paddle with GE 7031 varnish. The superconducting transition on the order of 1x10-7 emu is easily resolved. This is another confirmation of the validity for the thermometer calibration. A small segment of NbTi wire sample
Cold End of Probe Helium level meter Diode protection for magnet After Bill of QD, 2006 Cold End of Probe Helium level meter Diode protection for magnet Magnet Control The MPMS SQUID VSM utilizes a 7 Tesla, superconducting, helium-cooled magnet and a hybrid digital/analog magnet controller designed specifically for the SQUID VSM to achieve precise, quiet control of the magnetic field. SQUID precision in a magnetic measurement requires a stable magnetic field. The SQUID VSM accomplishes rapid switching between charging and discharging states and stable fields with a unique superconducting switching element called the QuickSwitchTM (patent pending), which changes, between superconducting and normal states in less than one second. This allows rapid collection of high precision data. The high open state resistance and low thermal mass of the QuickSwitchTM design also helps to minimize liquid helium consumption when ramping magnetic field, as compared to more traditional superconducting persistent switch technology. Further aiding the instrument’s low helium consumption is the use of high temperature superconductor (HTS) magnet leads anchored to a liquid nitrogen tank. The nitrogen shield in this design absorbs a great deal of room temperature heat that would otherwise be conducted to the helium bath. Quantum Design is proud of the contributions made to HTS research and development, and is excited to announce its newest member of the MPMS family—to the benefit of future researchers. R&D probe has 2 SQUID capsules Uses dc SQUID (instead of rf SQUID as in XL)
Sample Holders fused silica paddle design centering washers (blue) After Bill of QD, 2006 Sample Holders fused silica paddle design centering washers (blue) A couple of sample holder designs are illustrated. The top sample holder uses a quartz paddle design like the PPMS-VSM, only longer. To help with radial centering of the sample, a washer is placed at the end of the sample rod. This does not induce frictional heating at the lowest temperatures. The lower sample holder is a half-tube made of cartridge brass (Pb free) which clamps by spring force on cylindrical samples. Here, the QD palladium standard sample is mounted, and is adhered additionally with GE 7031 varnish. The diameter of the temperature control insert was selected to allow a 9 mm sample bore and to provide the smallest diameter pickup coils possible to optimize the magnetometer’s sensitivity. brass sample holder with Pd standard sample

While each instrument has its particular strengths and weaknesses, the comparison for low temperature magnetization versus field loops is useful to demonstrate the new technology. Essentially, the SQUID-VSM gives you the relative increase in speed expected with the VSM detection while maintaining the SQUID level sensitivity. Efficiency in magnet charging and measurement time lead to great cost savings The combination of efficiency in magnet charging and the dramatic decrease in measurement time results in significantly lower consumption of helium. This ultimately gives substantial improvements to the operational costs, the number of samples analyzed and the main factor is dollars per data point.
