The Lake Shore Blog

Cryostat temperature specs vary significantly. Lake Shore’s offerings span from <2 K up to 800 K, depending on the series. This post explains how to match temperature requirements to experimental needs, including ultra-cold quantum research and high-temperature spectroscopy.

Newly published research references use of Lake Shore Model 8607 vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) for electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) study.

A recently published article in AIP Review of Scientific Instruments examines the performance of the M81-SSM system's hybrid lock-in amplifier technology.

To learn more about the seamless autoranging technique used by our M81-SSM system and its voltage measure (VM-10) module, read our new application brief.

Read this new Lake Shore Cryotronics application brief on how to better characterize 2D materials with significant contact resistance.

Learn how patents relating to the technology of our M81-SSM synchronous source measure system benefit material and device characterization applications.

Researching and evaluating lock-in amplifier types for purchase can be confusing. This new paper aims to simplify the selection and buying process.

Read our new app brief to learn about the typical noise performance for samples measured in our 8600 Series VSM with the SSVT variable temperature option.

This new app note discusses T-FORC measurement techniques and analysis, and presents results for a magnetocaloric alloy sample.

This guide examines the different types of noise (external vs. intrinsic noise) and possible strategies for mitigating the effects of external noise.

In these videos, we show measurement techniques for noise-rejection performance and both low- and high-resistance measurements using our M81-SSM system.

The M81 system's patent-pending MeasureSync technology enables simultaneous source module update and measure module sampling timing across all channels.

Many product specifications are designed to sell rather than inform, often omitting key details like long-term accuracy, environmental conditions, or statistical confidence. To avoid misleading claims, critically compare specs across manufacturers and look for transparency in how performance is measured and reported.

A summary of many units used in magnetic measurements as well as a white paper covering the 5 most common errors in magnetic measurements.

A case study examines how our 2Dex™ Hall sensor, in combination with our F71 teslameter, enabled the Quantum Sensors Group at Cambridge University to verify their experimental 3-axis field generator setup — without experiencing noticeable error due to PHE.

In many cases, a DIY solution that pairs a high-speed teslameter and a Hall probe with a motorized platform is better than an expensive off-the-shelf field mapper.
