At the Materials Research Society (MRS) Spring Meeting & Exhibit in San Francisco (22–24 April), Lake Shore Cryotronics Inc of Westerville, near Columbus, OH, USA, which makes scientific sensors, instruments and systems for measurement and control, is showcasing cryogenic probe stations and discussing its new fully integrated system for terahertz (THz) materials characterization.
Lake Shore offers a full line of cryogenic and cryogen-free probe stations, with configurations and options available for DC, RF and microwave probing of nanoscale devices and materials on full and partial wafers at variable temperatures. The firm will have its entry-level Model TTPX set up in booth 301.
Also, the fully configured version of the TTPX (the Model PS-100) is designed for cost-conscious researchers needing a basic cryogenic probe station at an affordable price, giving users a straightforward probing solution without the complexity of choosing from multiple configuration options. It features a four-arm configuration suitable for most common probing applications.
Lake Shore is also discussing its new fully integrated Model 8501 THz system for non-contact, THz-frequency characterization of materials. The complete, turnkey hardware/software platform includes a variable-temperature, high-field cryostat for measuring spectroscopic responses across a range of frequencies, temperatures and field strengths. Using continuous-wave THz transmission spectroscopy, it enables fully automated, high-resolution characterization for detailed profiles of material responses. Analysis of these spectral profiles can lead to discovery of physical phenomena not visible with other conventional characterization techniques, the firm says.
Also at MRS Spring, Lake Shore will provide information on its:
12-channel Model 224 temperature monitor, the soon-to-be-released Model 372 AC resistance bridge and temperature controller and other temperature instruments; Hall-effect measurement systems, including the 8400 Series HMS with optional AC field Hall measurement; and magnetometer (VSM/AGM) systems.
