Facilities

The Oxford Centre for Applied Superconductivity has a series of new experimental facilities to address the current projects identified with the industrial partners, and new projects that will be initiated as the Centre expands. Researchers in the Centre will also have access to existing facilities in the Department of Physics and Materials.

Experimental facilities in the Materials Department:

 

empyrean

Panalytical Empyrean X-ray Diffractometer 

Powder and texture analysis.

 

ILabs instrument booking

mfm

Attocube Magnetic Force Microscope 

Low temperature magnetic imaging.

attodry

AttoDRY 1000

Flexible cryo-free superconducting vector magnet (9T/3T) platform.

Oxford Instruments 21T Superconducting Magnet 

Superconducting magnets up to 21 T with VTI insert to allow temperature sweep between 1.4K to 200 K.

cfas magnet265

15-17 T Superconducting Magnets

Superconducting magnets up to 17 T used mainly with home-build probes for transport, torque and specific heat measurements. A VTI can be adapted to allow the temperature to be varied between 1.4 K to 100 K.
