Dynacool PPMS

Description

The Quantum Design Physical Properties Measurement System (PPMS) is an open-architecture, variable temperature and magnetic field platform designed for automated characterization of material properties. It supports a wide range of measurement techniques using specialized sample environment options. The system operates over temperatures from 50 mK to 300 K and magnetic fields up to ±9 Tesla. Measurement capabilities include vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) for magnetization studies, AC and DC transport measurements for resistivity, Hall effect (including Van der Pauw geometry), I–V characterization, and critical current measurements, as well as magneto-optical measurements.

Capabilities

• Variable temperature control (50 mK – 300 K) – Enables measurements from cryogenic to room temperature conditions
• High magnetic field operation (±9 T) – Supports strong-field material characterization
• Vibrating Sample Magnetometry (VSM) – Measures magnetic properties such as magnetization
• AC/DC transport measurements – Includes resistivity, Hall effect, Van der Pauw, I–V curves, and critical current analysis
• Magneto-optical measurements – Allows optical studies under applied magnetic fields
• Flexible sample environment – Supports multiple automated measurement configurations
• Electrical sample size compatibility – Up to 1 in diameter (standard: 0.4 in × 0.5 in)
• Magnetic sample limits – Powders up to 5.0 mm³ and solids up to 3 mm × 7 mm
