MRI: Acquisition of High Field Physical PropertiesMeasurement System with Cryogenic AFM/MFMP. Chris Hammel, Ohio State University, DMR 1040296 • Installation of the Instrument in an established facility, NanoSystems Laboratory (NSL) enhanced and broadened impact • Since commissioning in March • 9 OSU research groups benefited from equipment • 19 users used the instruments • 4 female users among them • Instrument use continued to grow • Instrument capabilities contributed to the establishment of collaboration between OSU Center for Emergent Materials (NSF MRSEC) and Charles University (Prague, Czech Republic) • Funded by Czech Republic Fulbright grant: 15120812 “Spintronics - New Generation of Electronic Devices Using Spin-based Logic” Monthly PPMS use since installation Helena Reichlova, visiting Fulbright scholar from the Czech Republic, using our PPMS with CryoAFM for the study of novel spintronic devices
