[cid:image006.png@01D7401C.A3F567B0] Seminars /Workshops / Events BNC Faculty Seminar Series (For Faculty Only) Dr. Caitlin Proctor Assistant Professor of Agricultural and Biological Engineering & Environmental and Ecological Engineering (by courtesy) at Purdue University Thursday November 11th, 2021 12:00pm – 1:00pm, Zoom Topic : Biofilms in Everyday Life Workshop Announcement LakeShore Cryotronics and Neil Dilley are hosting a workshop to highlight some new equipment in the Birck Spintronics Lab and present results from beta phase testing. These include: * LakeShore Synchronous Source-Measure system M81: sensitive, flexible, automated AC+DC electrical measurements system for, e.g., Hall effect (with gating), differential conductance, ESD-sensitive materials, and more. * LakeShore FastHall M91: DC resistance system with automated permutation of wiring for Hall effect and resistance measurements to quickly determine Hall coefficient, carrier concentration, carrier type and mobility. Both of these equipment are installed on the PPMS DynaCool cryostat in the Birck Spin Lab which provides an environment with T = 1.8 - 400 K and fields up to 9 tesla. We will also review other magnetic characterization capabilities and give lab tours during the lunch hour.
