Acquisition of a Cryogenic Magnetometer and a Thermal Demagnetizer

这项奖励提供了购买将在密歇根大学地质科学系安装和运行的设备所需资金的一半。该大学承诺提供所需资金的剩余部分。该装置由低温超导岩石磁强计、磁通门磁强计和热消磁系统组成。密歇根大学的首席研究员、教员同事和研究生同事从事岩石磁性的地质解释以及根本原因的研究。这台设备将取代对他们研究的测量需求至关重要的17年老旧设备。

This award provides one-half the funds required to purchase equipment that will be installed and operated in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Michigan. The University is committed to providing the remainder of the necessary funds. The equipment consists of a cryogenic superconducting rock magnetometer, a fluxgate magnetometer, and a thermal demagnitizer system. The Principal Investigator, faculty colleagues, and graduate student co-workers at the University of Michigan are engaged in research on the geological interpretation, as well as the fundamental causes, of rock magnetism. This equipment will replace 17-year old equipment central to the measurement needs of their research.
