Established in fall 2000, the Penn State MRSEC Central Facilities Laboratory (CFL) is housed in Davey Laboratory, which is located on Penn State University Park Central Campus within a 10 minute walk of the academic departments of the Center participants. It currently focuses on advanced cryogenic characterization, including PPMS and SQUID capabilites. This includes a multimode atomic force microscopy (AFM)/magnetic force microscopy (MFM) / scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) system, two superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometers for magnetization measurements over a temperature range of 2K-1000K, three physical property measurement systems (PPMS) for magneto-transport measurements over a temperature range from 50 mK - 400 K and magnetic fields from 0 - 9 T.
