VERITAS Sample Environments

VERITAS can accommodate a wide variety of sample environments. For more information, please visit the following webpage: https://neutrons.ornl.gov/sample. Once you are notified of an approved proposal, please update your impossible dates in IPTS as soon as possible to ensure that they are accommodated in our instrument schedule. Note that there will be limited scheduling flexibility for VERITAS experiments due to the necessity of sample environment block scheduling.

Temperature Control Devices

  • Closed Cycle Refrigerator (4–300K)
  • Liquid Helium Cryostat (1.5–300K)
  • 3He-insert (0.3–300K)
  • Dilution Fridge (0.03–300K)
  • High Temperature Displex (30–700K)
  • Furnace (Room temperature – 1500 °C)

Magnet Systems

  • Asymmetric 6T vertical field cryomagnet (0–6T, with temperature ranges 1.5–300K, 0.3–300 K with 3He-insert, or 0.03–300 K with dilution fridge insert)
  • Asymmetric 8T vertical field cryomagnet (0–8T, with temperature ranges 1.5–300K, 0.3–300 K with 3He-insert, or 0.03–300K with dilution fridge insert)

Potential users can go to the equipment webpage to check the available sample environments at HFIR, and it is always useful to contact the instrument scientists for more detailed information about the sample environments and new instrument capabilities when planning for the experiment.
