Magnetic fields

For magnetic fields below 1.5 Tesla a simple system is constructed based on two permanent magnets. The magnet is rotatable around a vertical axis, so the x-rays can pass through the sample parallel or vertical to magnetic field. The magnetic field is adjustable by changing the gap between the permanent magnets according to the next diagram.
Temperature control is available for temperatures up to 150° C.

A development that is only available in collaboration with in-house staff is a 10 Tesla superconducting magnet. The special feature of this magnet is that it is possible to maintain the samples at temperatures ranging from -10° to + 60° C at ambient pressures.
At present this is a unique facility. The installation and operation requires specialised manpower.
