About
The University of Sheffield awarded a contract to Quantum Design UK & Ireland Ltd.
for the supply of a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer, valued at £620,000.
The instrument will support the creation of the Sir Henry Royce Institute in Materials Discovery, enabling characterization of a wide range of materials including ferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic bulk, thin films, patterned arrays, nanoparticles, nuclear waste immobilization materials, electroceramics, multiferroics, novel alloys, and materials for nuclear fusion technology.
The system required a flexible design with a unique range of capabilities and recirculating cryogens, with delivery scheduled between August and the end of October 2018.
