Experimental Methods

Experimental Techniques:

• Quantum Design SQUID Magnetometer (5 T, 1.5-400 K, Oven (up to 800 K), Rotator, Ultra-Low-field option, Hydrostatic Pressure Cell up to 1 GPa)  
• NMR (16 T, 1.5-500 K; single, double Resonance Spectrometers)
  
• Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (17 T, 2.5-300 K)
• Alternating Gradient Magnetometer  MicroMag™ Model 2900 (Princeton Measurement Corp., 4-300 K, 1.2 T, 1 nemu rms)

• Quantum Design PPMS (9 T, 0.5-350 K; Specific heat, AC-susceptibility, Torque-Magnetometer, Electrical+heat transport)

• Magnetostriction (18 T, 2-300K), Thermal Expansion (18 T, 2-300 K)
• Hydrostatic Pressure Cell (up to 1 GPa)
• AC-Susceptibility (AC-Dipstick; 0 T)
  

In addition to the in-house techniques, in cooperation with our partners we apply the following techniques:

• Pulsed Field Magnetometer up to 60 T (with J. Wosnitza, FZD Rossendorf)
• Pulsed field magnetization up to 60 T (In-house as well as with J.-M. Broto, LNCMP Toulouse)
• Elastic and inelastic neutron diffraction (with K. C. Rule, A. D. Tennant, Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin)                                 
• Electron-paramagnetic-resonance (EPR) up to 40 T (M. Goiran, LNCMP Toulouse) (cf. the IFF ESR activities here)
• Hard x-ray diffraction (with M. v. Zimmermann, HASYLAB@DESY  Hamburg) 
• Specific heat in high magnetic fields up to 33 T (with U. Zeitler, HMFL Nijmegen)
