ARS magnetic cryogenic probe stations are designed for precise electrical, RF and optical measurements under controlled magnetic fields and cryogenic temperatures. These systems provide a stable, high vacuum measurement environment, enabling detailed investigation of magneto electrical and magneto optical device behaviour.

The ARS magnetic probe station platform combines closed cycle cryogenic cooling with either superconducting or electromagnet based field generation. This allows researchers to perform repeatable measurements across wide temperature ranges without the need for liquid cryogens, improving usability, uptime and experimental consistency.

Magnetic Cryogenic Measurement Capability

ARS magnetic probe stations support device characterisation from below 4 K up to 350 K while applying controlled magnetic fields to the sample. High mechanical stability and low vibration performance ensure reliable probe contact and measurement accuracy, even during sensitive low temperature experiments.

Large optical access ports allow integration of optical instrumentation, making these systems well suited to combined electrical, magnetic and optical studies.

Superconducting Magnet Capability

ARS develop and manufacture superconducting magnet probe stations engineered for experiments requiring high strength vertical magnetic fields. They are designed for advanced research applications where strong, stable magnetic fields are essential.

Low vibration performance of less than 1 μm enables stable probing at cryogenic temperatures, supporting sensitive electrical and RF measurements. Rapid sample cooldown further enhances efficiency in high throughput research and test workflows.

Electromagnet Cryogenic Probe Station

The ARS electromagnet probe stations are designed for flexible, non destructive device testing under moderate horizontal magnetic fields. It provides a practical solution for experiments where adjustable magnetic fields are required without the complexity of superconducting systems.

Typical Applications

ARS magnetic cryogenic probe stations are widely used for:

  • Magneto electrical and magneto optical device characterisation
  • Quantum and superconducting device research
  • Spintronics and magnetic materials studies
  • Semiconductor and photonic device testing under magnetic fields

What is a Magnetic Cryogenic Probe Station

A magnetic cryogenic probe station is a measurement system used to characterise electrical, RF and optical device behaviour at cryogenic temperatures while applying a controlled magnetic field. These systems combine closed cycle cryogenic cooling, high vacuum operation and precision probing to enable repeatable magneto electrical and magneto optical measurements without the use of liquid cryogens.

Key characteristics of magnetic cryogenic probe stations:

  • Controlled magnetic field application that enables vertical or horizontal fields to be applied during low temperature device testing.
  • Cryogen free closed cycle cooling, providing a stable temperature control without liquid helium or nitrogen, improving uptime and ease of operation.
  • High vacuum measurement environment, ensuring thermal stability and repeatable measurement conditions.
  • Precision probing with low vibration for accurate probe placement and stable measurements at cryogenic temperatures.
