The Quantum Design PPMS (Physical Property Measurement System) is a unique laboratory equipment which is optimized to perform a variety of automated measurements such as Heat capacity, Thermal conductivity, Magnetization, Dielectric constant and Resistivity.

  

     The MPMS is used for performing the fundamental study of magnetism in research application of physics. MPMS sample magnetometers employ SQUID ( Superconducting  QUantum Interference Device ) technology to achieve superior measurement sensitivity, dynamic range, and reproducibility.

  

     Transmission Electronic Microscopy (TEM) is widely used to characterize a lot of materials both from a morphological point of view and from the crystallographic but also for the elemental composition. Using TEM a large variety of materials as ceramics, minerals, metals, alloy, semiconductors, glass and polymers can be observed.

  

     We have an Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) in which a fine tip is brought into atomically close contact with a sample surface without actually touching the surface. This is done by sensing the atomic force between the probe tip and the surface. The forces are extremely small (about 1nN). The tip is then moved back and forth over the sample surface and can measure the topography with almost atomic resolution

 

     In the back-reflection method, the film is placed between the x-ray source and the crystal. The beams which are diffracted in a backward direction are recorded. Then by OrientExpress software, the orientation of crystal can be  figured out.

  

  This X-ray machine made by Rigaku company is used to analyse the composition, structure and orientation of samples with Jade software     

  

  Up to 120mm single crystal can be grown by this Four-mirror type floating zone furnace, which is made by Crystal Systems Inc.

 

  Depths of the Earth Co. piston-cylinder system with pressure up to 25Kbar is designed to synthesize high pressure phase of some material which can not be formed at normal  atmosphere.

  

          The PLD method of thin film growth involves evaporation of a solid target in a High Vacuum chamber by means of short and high-energy laser pulses. In a typical PLD process, a researcher places a ceramic target in a vacuum chamber. A pulsed laser beam vaporizes the surface of the target, and the vapor condenses on a substrate.

  

    

  This X-ray machine is used to analyse the composition, structure and orientation of samples from room temperature to high temperature.   

  

  

  Rockland piston-cylinder system with pressure up to 35Kbar  is designed to synthesize high pressure phase of some material which can not be formed at normal  atmosphere..
