A platform specializing in magnetism, spintronics, and electronic transport for the characterization of materials, thin films, and devices over a wide range of temperatures and magnetic fields. It combines high-sensitivity magnetometry with magnetotransport techniques and magneto-optical measurements to obtain key parameters, including magnetic anisotropy, coercivity, magnetic susceptibility, and electronic response, under controlled conditions.

Equipment

• SQUID magnetometer (Quantum Design MPMS3)
• PPMS system with electrical transport, magnetoresistance, and magnetic susceptibility modules
• Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM)
• Magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) system
• Magnetic field generation up to 9 T
• Cryostats with temperature control (approximately 2 K to 400 K)
• High-precision measurement electronics (current and voltage sources and measurement units)

• Static and dynamic magnetization measurements
• Characterization of magnetic anisotropy, coercivity, and susceptibility
• Magnetotransport measurements (magnetoresistance, Hall effect, and conductivity) as a function of temperature (T) and magnetic field (B)
• Testing of functional materials and thin films
• Characterization and validation of spintronic devices
• Support with experimental design and data processing
