Van der Waals heterostructures offer researchers an opportunity to tailor architectures by 2D material layering; Lake Shore products have aided in this work

Measuring the magnetic properties of proxy samples aids in palaeoclimatology research. A recently published paper references the use of a Lake Shore 8600 VSM for obtaining magnetic domain state and first-order reversal curve (FORC) data for three multi-proxy lake sediment samples from Tasmania.

A new video from YouTuber and science enthusiast Brainiac75 features our F71 teslameter and 3-axis probe to demonstrate a fascinating property of Earth’s magnetic field that you may not be aware of.

A noteworthy application in which the Model 372 AC resistance bridge has been used by researchers from Brookhaven National Lab and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) at Florida State University to accurately and precisely perform resistivity measurements at very low temperatures

The AC field Hall measurement method offers an advantage over the traditional DC method, namely, when tiny Hall voltages are involved, as shown in a Tyndall National Institute paper detailing experiments with phosphorus monolayer doping of silicon on insulator substrates with nanoscale dimensions

When logging and saving data from Lake Shore teslameters, the new buffered data streaming feature will ensure a consistent interval of field readings streamed to your PC. Watch our latest Collaborators Program video to see this new feature in action in an extreme scenario.

Next week, we will be attending the JEMS symposium in Mainz, Germany, and the ICEC-ICMC conference in Oxford, England, while Cryophysics GmbH, our sales representative in Germany, will be exhibiting at the International Workshop on Sample Environment at Scattering Facilities in Potsdam, Germany.

This video demonstrates the theoretical operation of a DC current and voltage source; animations show an experiment with a source and device being tested, where voltage is represented by the height of the circuit and current is represented by the speed of the particles travelling within the circuit

A recent paper in Particle & Particle Systems details the use of magnetic characterization, including first-order reversal curves (FORCs), supporting research involving the colloidal synthesis of inorganic nanocrystals for future smart material applications.

Watch the quick-look video highlighting the magnetic field measurement capabilities and TruZero technology of the new F71/F41 teslameters with a side-by-side test of the F71 vs. a gaussmeter to show how it ensures fast, always-accurate measurements and why there is no need to zero the Hall probe.

A new software package for magnetic hysteresis loop measurement and analysis is available for rock magnetism research; it is used to aid in visualizing data obtained from such measurements when characterizing the magnetic properties of rock specimens while using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) system.

The MeasureReady 155 precision current and voltage source has an output that provides an in-phase AC signal reference, making it ideal for use with a lock-in amplifier when detecting extremely low signal levels in the presence of other signals, such as for small AC signal material measurements

In this new app note, we explore the use of a Lake Shore CRX-4K cryogenic probe station equipped with our new parametric probes and a high-temperature stage for making wafer-level capacitance-voltage (C-V) and capacitance-frequency (C-F) measurements at variable temperatures up to 600 K.

If you are interested in seeing typical measurement results for our award-winning 8600 Series VSM, download our new plot book, which includes results for various thin films, including 20 µemu CoPt bit-patterned magnetic media and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy thin films, and other samples.

Hall mobility measurements for p-type TCO research are explored in a new paper detailing the work of University of Texas at Dallas and University of Washington scientists developing low-cost optoelectronic products; the research involved using a Lake Shore Model 8404 Hall system to measure transport properties.

Application note on the use of new parametric probes for more accurate, wafer-level C-V (capacitance-voltage) measurements performed in cryogenic probe stations
