Materials characterization systems from Lake Shore Cryotronics on show at ICNS 2013
Lake Shore offers probe stations, Hall measurement systems (HMS) and a prototype THz system that allows for complex measurements under variable temperature and magnetic field conditions.
The ICNS conference features topical discussions, poster sessions and an industrial exhibit of scientific and technological advances in materials and devices based on group III-nitride semiconductors. This year’s scientific program topics will include nanostructures, electron transport devices, photovoltaics and energy harvesting, and new materials – all applications that researchers are currently exploring with the company’s material characterization systems.
The Model 8404 AC field system includes a unique AC field Hall measurement option that enables users to characterize materials with Hall mobilities down to 0.001 cm2/Vs, lower than is possible using traditional DC field Hall measurement techniques. This feature allows for easier measurement of emerging semiconductor and electronic materials.
Lake Shore’s prototype terahertz (THz) system enables researchers to explore phenomena in emerging electronic materials over a range of temperatures and magnetic fields using non-contact THz-frequency energy. Alpha units of the system are currently in use at key university and government research facilities in the U.S. Research so far has garnered valuable insight into molecular solids, thin films and other semiconductor devices.
Lake Shore’s cryogenic probe stations enable reliable, unattended measurements of electrical, electro-optical, DC, RF and microwave properties of materials and test devices at cryogenic temperatures and under the application of magnetic fields up to 30,000 gauss.
