Acquisition of a Variable Temperature and Magnetic Field Magnetometer for Nanoscience Research and Education

一个由四名物理学家和四名化学家组成的跨学科小组在分子磁学、新材料合成和纳米技术方面有共同的研究兴趣，并且在一些情况下存在正式的跨学科合作。各种新的磁性系统和纳米器件被制备出来，它们目前通过磁输运、核磁共振（NMR）、电子顺磁共振（EPR）、原子力显微镜（AFM）、近场显微镜（NFM）和其他光谱（包括红外、紫外/可见光和拉曼技术）进行表征。这份来自材料研究仪器项目的合同将允许佛罗里达大学通过购买现代磁力计——量子设计MPMS 7特斯拉SQUID磁力计来增强其表征能力。新仪器将对佛罗里达大学的许多研究人员产生重大影响，研究与磁现象有关的活动。此外，这台新仪器将作为一个重要的跨学科教育和培训工具，为研究生和博士后研究人员操作设备。最后，佛罗里达大学承诺出资，占该仪器总成本的30%。一个由四名物理学家和四名化学家组成的跨学科小组在分子磁学、新材料合成和纳米技术方面有共同的研究兴趣，并且在一些情况下存在正式的跨学科合作。各种新的磁性系统和纳米器件被制备出来，它们目前通过磁输运、核磁共振（NMR）、电子顺磁共振（EPR）、原子力显微镜（AFM）、近场显微镜（NFM）和其他光谱（包括红外、紫外/可见光和拉曼技术）进行表征。这份来自材料研究仪器项目的合同将允许佛罗里达大学通过购买现代磁力计——量子设计MPMS 7特斯拉SQUID磁力计来增强其表征能力。新仪器将对佛罗里达大学的许多研究人员产生重大影响，研究与磁现象有关的活动。此外，这台新仪器将作为一个重要的跨学科教育和培训工具，为研究生和博士后研究人员操作设备。最后，佛罗里达大学承诺出资，占该仪器总成本的30%。

An interdisciplinary group of four physicists and four chemists have common research interests in molecular magnetism, new materials synthesis, and nanotechnology, and in several cases, formal interdisciplinary collaborations exist. A variety of new magnetic systems and nanodevices are prepared, and they are presently characterized by magnetotransport, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), atomic force microscopy (AFM), near-field microscopy (NFM), and other spectroscopies including infrared, ultraviolet/visible, and Raman techniques. This award from the Instrumentation for Materials Research program will allow the University of Florida to enhance its characterization capability with the acquisition of a modern magnetometer, a Quantum Design MPMS 7 Tesla SQUID magnetometer. The new instrument will have significant impact on a number of researchers at the University of Florida with activities related to magnetic phenomena. In addition, this new instrument will serve as an important interdisciplinary educational and training tool for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers who will operate the equipment. Finally, the University of Florida has committed funding which represents 30% of the total cost of the instrument.An interdisciplinary group of four physicists and four chemists have common research interests in molecular magnetism, new materials synthesis, and nanotechnology, and in several cases, formal interdisciplinary collaborations exist.
