Oxford Instruments offers several cryostats enabling macroscopic and microscopic magneto-optical applications.
Below you will find some studies using our solutions.
Confocal microscopy at cryogenic temperatures has become an essential tool for the study of semiconductor quantum dots. Furthermore if a high magnetic field can be applied to the sample and the sample rotated within the field then even greater information can be obtained from magneto-optical spectroscopy.
In the article, M. Ediger* and R. T. Phillips Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge have developed a novel fibre-based confocal microscope [1] to investigate the properties of nanostructures such as InGaAs quantum dots (QDs) via magneto-photoluminescence (PL).

The emergent field of spintronics (spin-based electronics) exploits the propensity of electrons to hold a spin state, as well as charge state, for the development of quantum information technology.
The successful demonstration of coherent control over nuclear spins, using an all-electrical semiconductor nanoscale device. They also demonstrated coherent oscillations with all possible transitions in all constituent nuclides (types of nuclei) of the device.
Progress in semiconductor growth and fabrication has been accompanied by a steady shift of interest towards nanostructures with progressively reduced dimensionality.
The experimental observation of gigantic magnetocapacitance and magnetoelectric effect has been achieved in rare-earth manganites such as TbMnO3.
