NanoMOKE
This system combines the powerful capabilities of the Durham Magneto-Optics NanoMOKE3 with the flexibility of the closed cycle optical Cryostation for low temperature Magneto-Optic Kerr Effect (MOKE) applications. *
Users would have the full capabilities of the Cryostation closed-cycle optical cryostat, as well as the Magneto-Optic module for their experiments.
Kerr Effect Magnetometer
The NanoMOKE3 is an ultra-high sensitivity magnetooptical magnetometer and Kerr microscope.
The optical head for the NanoMOKE views the sample through a side window on the Cryostation.
There aretwo principle configurations:
- Polar: Sample is mounted
perpendicular to the field. - Longitudinal/Transverse: Sample is
mounted parallel to the field.
The system includes a sample holder
assembly for both setups.
Cryostation® System
The Cryostation provides an automated and controlled environment for low temperature MOKE measurements.
The specially designed chamber integrates seamlessly with the required equipment.
- Low cost, helium-free operation
- Fully-automated control
- Versatile & flexible tabletop
mounting architecture - Optimized temperature
performance & thermal stability
Features
- Includes configurations for Longitudinal/Transverse and
Polar MOKE experiments - Requires minimal effort to switch between
configurations - Sample components utilize exotic materials to minimize
Eddy-Current heating - Custom low-profile electrical connections available
