Lake Shore Cryotronics, a DwyerOmega brand, will be at next week’s Applied Superconductivity Conference (ASC) exhibition in Pittsburgh, PA, showcasing products for cryogenic sensing, control, and cooling as well as the M81-SSM system for material and device characterization. 

On display in Booth 509 will be:

• The Model 346 controller featuring 10 sensor inputs (expandable to 26 with option cards), 300 mK to 1,505 K temperature control, and four 100 W heater outputs that deliver a total of 400 W of power, enabling faster warmup
• 240 Series 2- and 8-input sensor modules for precise remote monitoring of cryogenic sensors in superconducting applications employing PLC-based control, with circuitry that allows for module-sensor cable runs up to 300 m (984 ft), and now offering expanded RS-485 communication options
• The CCS-100 closed-cycle optical cryostat for <4 K to 325 K cryogen-free cooling 
• Various Lake Shore cryogenic temperature sensors, including Cernox^®, silicon diode, and platinum sensors
• An M81-SSM synchronous source measure instrument and SMU-10 modules, which offer DC and AC capabilities with integrated lock-in detection for low-level superconducting material characterization applications

Also relating to the M81-SSM, Lake Shore Engineering Technologist Tom Farish will be presenting a poster on the use of the system for “Broadband AC Susceptibility Measurements of High Temperature Superconductors” (2:30 to 4:15 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 9, in the exhibit hall). This research, co-authored by Lake Shore’s Brad Dodrill, Thomas Bapu, and David Daughton, details an approach that provides a foundation for future work aimed at understanding slow vortex processes and AC loss mechanisms under conditions relevant to applied superconductivity.

Also during ASC, Lake Shore will be available to discuss the company’s:

• Other temperature instruments, including Model 372 AC resistance bridge/temperature controller, which supports measurement and control capabilities in sub-1 K applications when used with compatible RTD sensors (such as Lake Shore’s ULT Rox™ sensors) 
• Magnetic measurement and control instruments and Hall sensors
• Entire portfolio of LHe, LN₂, and cryogen-free cryostats
• Award-winning Infinite Helium™, a fully automated recirculating gas cooler system that makes a LHe cryostat cryogen‑free
• Cryogenic probe stations for performing on-wafer measurements of materials and devices at temperatures as low as 1.6 K and in fields to as high as 5 T under vacuum
• Hall effect measurement instruments and systems
• MagRS magnetic research system with options available for Hall effect, electron transport, vibrating sample magnetometry, and ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) measurements
