LTHMFL - Faraday Balance Laboratory

Faraday Balance

The Faraday System for magnetization measurements is a facility enabling determinations in the range 2-300 K, using fields up to 7 T and gradients up to 10 T/m. The force is measured with a microbalance with a sensitivity of 0.01 mg, making it particularly appropriated for susceptibility measurements of powder samples in small quantities and/or low magnetic signals.
It has been used mainly to study molecular materials and compounds that are being prepared and studied by C2TN initiative or, on a scientific collaboration basis, different compounds prepared by other research laboratories, such as the Institut de Ciencia de Materials de Barcelona, ITQB, IST, and UNL.
