A perpendicular field electromagnet with a 250mm access bore
Abstract
We present a laboratory electromagnet capable of generating magnetic fields up to 0.48T, specifically designed as a perpendicular flux source for thin film samples in an ambient environment. The magnet features a 250mm diameter clear access bore above the sample plane, thus offering compatibility with a wide variety of experimental apparatus. Despite its generous size, the magnet thermally dissipates less than 1kW at maximum field. A shaped ferromagnetic core is used to amplify and homogenize the field , leading to an estimated uniformity of 1.5mT (0.3%) in within a 28mm zone at maximum field. The sample stage is thermally regulated and isolated from the magnet, enabling temperature control with 5mK precision even at elevated magnetic fields.
