Vacuum, cryo & magnet compatible
Monitor stress and strain with a built-in force and displacement sensors down to mK temperature and up to 30T magnetic fields: ideal for the study of superconductors and other strongly correlated electron systems.
Bulk samples and thin-films
The dual sensors of the UC200 make it ideally suited to a wide range of measurements. The force sensor allows direct measurement of tension in a bulk sample, whereas the displacement sensor in combination with the SR200 sample carrier is ideal for the University of Washington method of straining free-standing Van de Waal films.
Prepare in advance for beam time
If a sample unexpectedly breaks during an experiment, replacing the sample require waiting several hours for glue to cure. For time-critical applications, the sample carrier can be used so pre-mounted samples can be exchanged in seconds.
Measure Force & Displacement
The UC200 measures both force and displacement making it instantly clear if a sample is broken or slipping in the glue, saving time and confusion. It also allows changes in the Young's Modulus, due to electronic transitions, to be observed. This technique has been recently published in the high-profile journal, Science.
