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

This three-part Q&A features insights from three employees who played key roles in the design of the new MeasureReady™ 155 precision I/V source.

More material researchers are exploring FORC measurements. This paper is part of a rising trend of FORC-related scientific papers published since 2007.

Holiday greetings from Lake Shore

In this video demo Brad Dodrill shows the ease of operation and speed of the 8600 Series VSM and demonstrates magnetometer hysteresis loop and FORC measurements

New paper by CEA Saclay Irfu provides overview of support hardware and software that can be used for particle accelerator, including Cernox and platinum sensors

New first-look video examines MeasureReady 155 I/V source for low-noise measurement, which is ideal for performing I-V curve and other material measurements

When you add instrumentation to your device under test, it becomes part of the circuit. The wrong circuit setup can cause unintended measurement problems.

Researchers have developed a novel RF bolometer using a CNT thin film as the thermistor element using the Lake Shore CPX-VF probe station.
