16 Tesla PPMS System Overview

The PPMS-16 is a new cryogenic system from Quantum Design with a 16 Tesla magnet. It contains an Oxford Instruments 16 Tesla magnet mounted inside a bottom loading liquid nitrogen shielded dewar. This optimized design allows for a low helium boil-off rate of around 6 liters per day. The system also includes a new 120A, 10V power supply and can perform high field magnetometry and transport property measurements. Delivery is estimated at around 12 months after order placement.

Product Introduction

Model PPMS-16:
16 Tesla PPMS
(Features/Specifications)

In its continuing effort to provide systems that offer the widest range of performance,
Quantum Design introduces the PPMS-16. At the heart of this system is an Oxford
Instruments NbTi/ Nb3Sn hybrid 16-Tesla (@ 4.2 K) longitudinal magnet. Because of its
size, the magnet is mounted directly into a specially designed bottom loading, high
capacity, nitrogen shielded, helium dewar. The PPMS probe is then inserted into the
dewar/magnet assembly. This design optimizes for cryogenic efficiency leading to an
expected He boil-off rate of ~6 liters/day. Installed on the system is a pair of specially
designed High-Tc magnet leads. These leads greatly reduce the helium boil-off during
high field magnet field sweeps.

Besides the 16 tesla high field magnet, this latest PPMS will contain a state-of-the-art
120A, 10V power supply. Utilizing Quantum Design’s relayless H-plate architecture, this
supply will provide continuous charging through zero field. Overvoltage protection and
very low noise are inherent features of this design.

As with all Quantum Design instruments, the PPMS-16 is a fully automated laboratory
workstation. This system has been designed primarily for performing high field
magnetometry (using the new P525 Vibrating Sample Magnetometer System),
electromagnetic (Models P400 DC Resistivity and P600 AC Transport Measurement
Systems) and thermal transport property measurements (Models 650 Heat Capacity and
P670 Thermal Transport Systems). [Although this system can accommodate the Model
P500 AC Susceptibility/DC Magnetization Measurement System (ACMS), the ACMS
performance will be degraded due to the reduced region of homogeneity. Therefore, the
standard specifications of the P500 ACMS option do not apply when installed into a 16-
tesla PPMS system.]

System Availability
Estimated delivery of the PPMS-16 is ~12 months after receipt of an order.
