Enabling Physics

These facilities involve complex multi-instrument set-ups that are within the labs of the various participants and will be made available for collaborative projects.
  • Low-Temperature Magneto-Optical and Magneto-Transport Systems: (OU)
    • Quantum transport experiments utilize:
      • Oxford Instruments dilution refrigerator with a base temperature of ~10 mK and a maximum field of 14.5 T and a top-loading 3He refrigerator with a 0.5 K base temperature and a 9 T (at 4.2 K) magnet.
    • Sheena's System
    • Optical experiments utilize:
      • optical excitation provided by an Edinburgh Instruments FIRL-100 optically pumped far-infrared laser. It and the Bruker FTIR spectrometer can be connected to a dewar with an 8 T split-coil magnet. With the inclusion of several microwave spectrometers, we cover the wavelength range from 1 cm to 1.5 µm.
      • New PL setup

  • Optical Spectroscopy Systems: (UA)
    • There are eight laser-based labs available containing a variety of laser sources covering the wavelength range 0.4 to 16 microns and associated optics and diagnostics. These include OPG/OPA tunable (picosecond and femtosecond) lasers, tunable dye lasers, nanosecond and picosecond Nd:YAG lasers, argon-ion and krypton lasers, and Ti:sapphire ps/fs tunable lasers.
