Lake Shore launches integrated system for THz materials characterization

Lake Shore Cryotronics Inc of Westerville OH, USA, which makes scientific sensors, instruments and systems for measurement and control, says that its new 8500 Series THz system is a fully integrated hardware/software platform for the characterization of electronic, magnetic and chemical materials.

The system uses non-contact terahertz (THz)-frequency energy and an integrated low-temperature, high-field cryostat to measure material spectroscopic responses across a wide range of frequencies, temperatures and field strengths.

Claimed to be the first affordable, integrated solution tailored specifically for the characterization of research-scale electronic and magnetic materials, the system should be of interest to researchers studying emerging materials for high-speed computing, organic electronic, spin-based computing and thin-film semiconductor applications.

The system performs continuous-wave spectroscopic response measurements to derive key material properties such as dielectric constant, dynamic conductivity, carrier scattering times and mobilities, vibrational resonances, and magnetic resonances.
