Oxford Instruments has received an order for a high field magnet from Diamond Light Source. The state-of-the-art, 14 T split pair superconducting magnet will provide a high magnetic and low temperature sample environment and will be used on the new I10 BLADE at the Diamond Light Source.
Oxford Instruments’ Nb3Sn superconducting wire will be used in the construction of the magnet to allow for fast ramping of the magnetic field. It will be fitted with a recondensing cryostat, which captures evaporated gas and turns it back into liquid helium in order to decrease consumption of the cryogen.
The magnet will be dedicated to soft x-ray magnetic spectroscopy and samples will be exposed to an x-ray beam under high vacuum.
