MAGNETIC MATERIALS

Hinds proprietary components: two Hinds’ SignalocTM Lock-in

Developed in collaboration with researchers in magnetic
materials, Hinds Instruments’ new Magneto Optic Kerr Effect
(MOKE) Loop Tracer has application in the rapid generation of

Ampliers and a Hinds’ DET-200 photo detector. The user
interface has been custom-designed in a friendly, easy-touse manner.

hysteresis loops for the characterization of thin lm magnetic
materials. The turn key system traces loops based on both the

Kerr rotation and Kerr ellipticity data simultaneously.

APPLICATIONS
Magnetic memory research

Characterization of magnetic thin lms

LEADING EDGE SENSITIVITY AND REPEATABILITY
Using Hinds Instruments’ Photoelastic Modulator (PEM)
technology, the system provides unrivaled research grade
sensitivity. The PEM modulates at 50 kHz and allows the
user to trace the Kerr ellipticity (from the rst PEM harmonic)
and the Kerr rotation (from the second PEM harmonic). Both
values can be measured simultaneously.

DESIGNED FOR SIMPLE, STRAIGHT FORWARD
OPERATION
The PEMLabsTM Hysteresis Looper System is designed in
the longitudinal conguration, but conveniently allows the
user to turn the magnet 90° and convert to the transverse
conguration. The system is also available in a polar
conguration.
