Acquisition of a SQUID Magnetometer

小行星9420672 该合同为超导量子干涉仪（SQUID）磁强计（特别是量子设计MPMS-7）的采购提供部分支持。 这项研究将大大加强几个研究小组正在进行的工作，探索先进材料和新型固态结构在中低温下的磁响应。 这些研究项目的重点是先进的金属和非金属材料的彻底表征，这些材料显示出不相关和有序的磁矩，以及小金属团簇中磁序的发展。 预计在许多感兴趣的情况下，样品的总质量将非常小，这使得SQUID磁强计具有无与伦比的高灵敏度成为必要。 磁力计的定期使用将由五位主要研究人员进行分配：M。李，谁将是仪器经理，S。J. Poon，B.希瓦拉姆湖物理系的布卢姆菲尔德和R. N.化学系的格兰姆斯 此外，一些偶然的用户的仪器从物理，化学，材料科学，和电气环境的预期，因为没有可比的设施存在的thc UVa。 校园 ***

9420672 Lee This award provides partial support for the acquisition of a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer (specifically a Quantum Design MPMS-7). This inqtrument will greatly enhance the ongoing work of several research groups probing the magnetic response of advanced materials and novel solid-state structures at moderate to low temperatures. These research projects focus on the thorough characterization of advanced metallic and non-metallic materials which display both uncorrelated and ordered magnetic moments, and on the development of magnetic order in small metallic clusters. It is anticipated that in many cases of interest the total mass of the sample will be very small, making necessary the unparalleled high sensitivity of a SQUID magnetometer. %%% Regular use of the magnetometer will be divided among five principal investigators: M. Lee, who will be the instrument manager, S. J. Poon, B. Shivaram, L. Bloomfield all of the Physics Department, and R. N. Grimes of the Chemistry Department. In addition, a number of incidental users of the instrument from physics, chemistry, materials science, and electrical enineering are anticipated, since no comparable facility exists on thc UVa. campus. ***
