Spinner Magnetometer

Type

Magnetometer

Tristan 14GHz

Inline cryogenic magnetometer and high-frequency microwave demagnetisater (resonant cavity surrounded by 3 axis programmable coil set). System takes 5mm diameter mini-cores that are not usually oriented and is able to perform full-suite of Thellier-type experiments. A new interface was installed in 2024 that enables experiments to be performed and analysed in real-time with little user input.
