The Universal Measurement Probe is designed for a wide range of electrical transport measurements and is compatible with both TeslatronPT and TeslatronPT Plus systems. Operating over a temperature range of 1.5 – 300 K, it features a removable sample cell and interchangeable sample holders to accommodate different sample orientations relative to the magnetic field and varying numbers of electrical connections. Various wiring options are available, including DC, RF, driven guard and optical fibres, allowing configurations to be tailored to specific experimental requirements.
High magnetic fields and low temperatures for hall effect and quantum hall effect measurements.
Investigate the effect of low temperature and high field on low dimensional materials; nanowires, nanotubes, quantum dots and 2D electron gases.
Investigation of new mechanisms for superconductivity at low temperature and high field.
(TSTP-UMP-US-SIG)
Ideal for applications requiring extensive DC wiring, RF and optical measurements, featuring 19 twisted pairs, four RF connections, optional optical fibres for flexible expermental configurations.
(TSTP-UMP-DG-SIG)
Driven guard wiring minimises leakage currents and capacitance for faster, more accurate low-current measurements, while extensive DC wiring supports flexible measurement configurations.
