More specifi cally it is magnetism, magnetocaloric phen multiferroicity, superconductivity, spintronics, and research of Dirac materials. MGML is holding an official license for onsite manipulation of U and Th metals and compoun purposes of condensed matter and materials research. This makes MGML one of the few labora possibility of growth and measurements of novel materials containing these elements. The main strategic objective of MGML is the excellence of the infrastructure on the intern scale. MGML provides the broad scientific community unique possibilities for comprehensive investigation of Condensed Matter Physic and Materials R&D. - The MGML offers access to: i) broad range of top-class instrument suite for metals purification, novel materials synt quality single-crystal growth finalized by structure and composition characterization ii) large portfolio of physical characterization techniques focusing on measurements of ma (thermodynamic, cohesive, magnetic, electrical and thermal transport, spectroscopic, etc.) a wide range of external conditions (temperature, magnetic fi eld – up to 19.5 T, electric field, hydrostatic press stress) ****************************************************************************************** * Key Research Equipment ****************************************************************************************** *========================================================================================= * Material Properties Measurement *========================================================================================= - PPMS 14Tand PPMS 9T – Physical Property Measurement Systems - MPMS XL 7T – Magnetic Property Measurement System - 20 T and 9 T cryomagnets equipped with 3He/4He dilution refrigerator - Low-T Diffractometer – Measurements of X-ray powder and single-crystal diffraction *========================================================================================= * Material Growth and Characterization *========================================================================================= - Two Solid State Electrotransport (SSE) instruments - Arc furnace – synthesis of polycrystalline samples - Splat cooling system – synthesis of micrograin materials - Tri-arc furnace, Optical 4-mirror furnace, Multipurpose high frequency induction furnace resistance heating furnace-growth of high quality single crystals - SETSYS Evolution TGADTA/DSC, SEM Mira 3 – Scanning Electron Microscope equipped by a Bru BRUKER D8 ADVANCE powder diff ractometer and a Rigaku R-Axis Rapid single crystal diffract Laue diffractometer – composition and crystal structure analysis "We study magnetism, magnetocaloric phenomena, multiferroicity, superconductivity, spintro research of Dirac materials.“ ****************************************************************************************** * Are you interested in this expertise? ****************************************************************************************** Please contact CPPT UK Web: www.cppt.cuni.cz/ [ URL "https://cppt.cuni.cz/"] Mail: transfer@cuni.cz Phone: +420 224 491 255 ****************************************************************************************** * Experts and their department ****************************************************************************************** Prof. Mgr.
