The INSP has access to many techniques for the development and characterization of magnetic systems:
Magnetic materials fabrication facilities
Molecular jet epitaxy (metals MnAs, Fe, FeGa, topological insulators)
pulsed laser ablation (metal nanowires in oxide matrices, all-oxide nanocomposites)
sputtering or evaporation (Co/Pt, Ni)
See also the team page Growth and properties of hybrid systems in thin films
Magneto-optical assemblies
INSP has access to many devices (visible and X-ray) allowing to go from fs to static regime, in microscopy or local measurement, with a large variety of applied field geometries, at temperatures ranging from a few Kelvins to room temperature, in the time domain (Faraday effect photo-induced or not, and time resolved) or frequency domain (electronic Raman)
See the dedicated pages for some of these devices:
- time resolved Kerr effect
- Kerr magnetic domain microscopy
- high resolution micro-photoluminescence under strong magnetic field
Spectroscopy devices:
- EPR/Cavity FMR
- Wide band FMR
- Electron Raman under magnetic field-> SNEQ Florent ?
Experimental platforms and large instruments:
- low-temperature physics platform on campus (magneto-transport, VSM and SQUID magnetometry, calorimetry, 1.8-400K, 0-9T)
- clean room (at INSP and Paris center)
- SIMPA facility (Source d’Ions Multichargés de Paris) for ion irradiation and modification of magnetic properties of thin films or powders strong links with the French and Italian synchrotrons, with development of spectroscopic techniques for the study of magnetic systems
- member of the French magnetometry network MAG-Netométrie
- member of the national network RENARD (RPE/FMR)
