Laboratory of FIRM

Laboratory of Far-InfraRed Magnetospectroscopy (FIRM) is equipped with optically pumped THz gas laser, cryomagnetic cryostat and bolometer. Unique experimental setup enable us to measure optical properties of materials in the far-infrared region at low temperatures down to 3 K and in magnetic fields up to 11 tesla. THz gas laser provides set of linearly polarised lines with frequencies from 0.3 to 7.5 THz and with power 1-100 mW. For specific laser line a detailed dependence of transmission on temperature and magnetic field can be studied.

Laboratory of synthesis and chemical analysis

The laboratory of synthesis and chemical analysis is dedicated to the preparation of new materials and development of novel synthetic methods for nanoparticles and nanostructured composites. Moreover, it is also a main source of materials studied within the Department of Magnetics and Superconductors. All relevant chemical analyses of studied samples are provided here as well.

X-ray powder diffraction

X-ray powder diffraction is a basic analytical tool in material science for phase identification and characterization. It is a non-destructive method with easy sample preparation and mounting. Small quantity of sample (0.1 cm3 of powder volume) is sufficent for measurement in the standard sample holder, but basically any amount can be analyzed as well using special holder cut from silicon single crystal.

Laboratory of high pressure physics

Instrumentation development in our group plays a vital role in the research of material properties under extreme conditions in our labs. Number of high pressure cells has been designed and built in the High Pressure Laboratory to study the magnetic, transport and thermodynamic properties of materials under high pressures, low temperatures and high magnetic fields.
