Sample Environments

Magnet field from 0 to 20T

Temperature ~2K to room temperature

Sample Holders

The sample holder assembly consists of a puck, sapphire plate, spring, plunger, pins and wires. 

The sample will mounted on the sapphire plate and be electrically connected to the pins. Users may request the size (and shape) of hole in the center of the sapphire plate. 

Wires will be soldered to any instrumentation users require. There will be a permanently mounted temperature sensor (Cernox) to the body of the puck.
