Lake Shore Cryotronics Inc of Westerville OH, USA, which makes scientific sensors, instruments and systems for measurement and control, says that its new 8500 Series THz system is a fully integrated hardware/software platform for the characterization of electronic, magnetic and chemical materials.
The system uses non-contact terahertz (THz)-frequency energy and an integrated low-temperature, high-field cryostat to measure material spectroscopic responses across a wide range of frequencies, temperatures and field strengths.
Claimed to be the first affordable, integrated solution tailored specifically for the characterization of research-scale electronic and magnetic materials, the system should be of interest to researchers studying emerging materials for high-speed computing, organic electronic, spin-based computing and thin-film semiconductor applications.
The system performs continuous-wave spectroscopic response measurements to derive key material properties such as dielectric constant, dynamic conductivity, carrier scattering times and mobilities, vibrational resonances, and magnetic resonances.
