MAGNETIC CHARACTERIZATIONS

Investigation Group

Faraday magneto-optical effect measuring system (MOFE). Measurement of the rotation of the plane of polarization of light (monochromatic) when crossing a material subjected to a magnetic field, which can be varied between ± 0.3 T. It can be adapted to the measurement of the magneto-optical effect Kerr (MOKE) , that is, the measure of the rotation of the plane of polarization of the light when reflected in a material subjected to the action of the magnetic field.

FQM335

Faraday Magneto-Optical Effect Measurement System. This equipment operates with lasers of different wavelengths (400-780 nm) and magnetic fields of up to 0.3 T.

FQM335

Hysteresis cycle measuring equipment with LakeShore Model 480 flowmeter. Obtaining magnetization curves and hysteresis cycles of ferromagnetic materials in the form of wire, sheet or powder.

FQM335

Equipment of magneto-electric measurements. Magneto-resistance measurements, Hall effect, electrical resistivity (at variable temperature and magnetic field).

FQM335

Faraday Scale Oxford Instruments with 1 T max electromagnet, liquid N2 cryostat and tubular furnace up to 1000 K. Magnetic susceptibility and magnetization measurements as a function of temperature and magnetic field. Hysteresis cycles.
