UKAEA wishes to procure a Physical Property Measurement System (PPMS) offering a wide range of magnetic, thermal and electrical measurements. It has the following minimum requirements:
- "cryogen free", i.e. operated with a cryocooler;
- Sample environment controls including fields up to ±14 tesla;
- variable temperature insert (VTI) with a calibrated Cernox resistive temperature sensor or direct equivalent, provided with a calibration from 1.4 K to room temperature
- Measurement temperature range at least between 2 and 300 K
- Time to sweep to 90% of full field less than 10 min, with a thermal load on the insert
- Field homogeneity ±0.01% over 3 cm on axis
- Capable of performing the following measurements:
o Heat capacity
o DC magnetic moment (magnetometry)
o AC susceptibility
o DC and AC electrical properties
- A sample rotator to perform a measurement with the field at different angles
