Lake Shore Cryotronics will be at next week’s MRS Spring Meeting & Exhibit in Seattle, showcasing a source measure unit (SMU-10) that offers both DC and AC capabilities and an integrated lock-in for a wide range of low-level measurements.
The SMU-10, which is available for quote, is the latest addition to the company’s MeasureReady™ M81-SSM synchronous source measure system. It conveniently integrates DC current, DC voltage, AC current, AC voltage, lock-in, and resistance measurement capabilities into a single, compact module. Leveraging the M81-SSM’s unique noise reduction and synchronization technologies, the SMU-10 module provides very low noise measurements and is ideal for characterizing the ultra-low voltage regimes of 2D nanomaterial semiconductors.
Plus, its unique AC sourcing and lock-in measurement capabilities provide increased measurement sensitivity by avoiding thermal and other DC offsets. In addition, the synchronous sampling capability of the system ensures source and measure timing alignment across up to three SMU or source/measure module channels.
MRS Spring attendees wanting to see a demonstration of the M81-SSM system can visit Booth 329, where the company will be showing how the instrument and modules can easily be used with a TTPX cryogenic probe station for variable-temperature characterization of material samples.
Also on display in the booth: Lake Shore’s FastHall™ Station, a fully integrated tabletop Hall system that leverages the patented FastHall measurement technology provided by the company’s M91 FastHall measurement controller for rapid, convenient Hall analysis of materials. The M91 automatically executes measurement sequences and provides better measurements faster, especially when working with low-mobility materials.
In addition, Lake Shore will have on display a guarded insert for easily integrating the FastHall controller into a Quantum Design PPMS® for high-resistance Hall measurements (up to 200 GΩ).
Also at MRS Spring, representatives will be answering questions about the company’s:
- Wide selection of lab cryostats optimized for material research labs (the closed-cycle, cryogen-free CCS-100 optical cryostat will be on display)
- New automated Infinite Helium recirculating gas cooler system, which makes a liquid helium cryostat cryogen-free
- New electromagnet-based MagRS system with options that allow it to be customized for vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), ferromagnetic resonance (FMR), and two types of Hall effect measurements
- Fully integrated CryoComplete system, which includes M81-SSM instruments, a LN2 cryostat, a cryogenic controller, and software for 77 K to 500 K characterization applications
- Full range of cryogenic probe stations for performing on-wafer DC or high-frequency measurements of material samples at temperatures as low as 1.6 K and in fields as high as 5 T under vacuum
- Cryogenic measurement and control products, including cryogenic sensors, controllers, and monitors for low-temperature material research
