systems provide variable magnetic field on the three principal axes and are particularly useful
for orientation studies on a variety of samples for optical experiments. In light of the growing
interest in spin-related phenomena and new generation devices for processing information, there
is now renewed interest in the science and engineering of magnetic semiconductors. Magneto-optic
studies provides an ideal means for studying properties of magnetic semiconductors and other
materials where spin related phenomena are of paramount importance. The system is comprised of a
2 or 3-axis superconducting magnet, low helium consumption current leads, magnet dewar, optical
windows, and associated electronics. Typical specifications include magnetic fields up to 4T for
the principal vertical axis, 1.0 inch O.D. sample tube, and 1T rotating vector using any
combination of x, y and z-axis magnets. It is also supplied with a variable temperature insert
which operates from 1.5K to 300K.
