The Quantum Design MPMS (SQUID) XL and SQUID‑VSM series manual provides an overview of system features, specifications, and optional accessories.
The MPMS (SQUID) magnetic measurement system from Quantum Design offers two product lines – the MPMS XL series and the MPMS‑VSM series. Both systems combine a superconducting SQUID detector with integrated temperature and magnetic‑field control, delivering high‑sensitivity magnetometry from 1.9 K up to 400 K (optionally 0.48 K–800 K) and magnetic fields up to 7 T.
The manual describes the basic hardware (cryostat, superconducting magnet, temperature controller, SQUID detector), the MultiVu Windows‑based control software, and a wide range of optional modules such as high‑temperature furnaces, low‑field accessories, He‑3 inserts, and liquid‑helium‑free cooling options. Technical parameters for temperature, field, and measurement modes are listed for each configuration. This manual is written in Chinese.
| Temperature range (base system) | 1.9 K – 400 K (optional 0.48 K – 800 K) |
|---|---|
| Field uniformity | 0.01 % over 4 cm |
| Temperature scan rate | 0.01 – 10 K/min |
| Field sweep rate | up to 200 Oe/s (XL‑5) or 6000 Oe/s (XL‑7) |
The base system covers 1.9 K to 400 K, and with optional accessories it can be extended to 0.48 K–800 K.
The MultiVu control software runs on Microsoft Windows and manages all hardware functions of the MPMS system.
