Microscopic understanding of quantum phenomena
QML deploys a unique combination of state-of-the-art techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance, electron spin resonance, muon spin relaxation, neutron diffraction, and inelastic neutron scattering to probe exotic quantum and topological states and associated quasiparticle excitations on a complementary scale.
Dilution Refrigerator (DR) is a sophisticated cryogenic device primarily used to achieve and sustain ultra-low temperatures down to 50 mK. When used for heat capacity measurements, it allows us to study the fundamental thermodynamic properties of materials under extreme cold. Standard PPMS sample puck from 300 K to 1.9 K, stable, in under 40 minutes.
DR-3D HC Puck: Operation range 4 K to 50 mK; 0 to 14 T (Know more).

Our QML laboratory is well-appointed with a variety of high-temperature (1700 °C) furnaces, featuring several Nabertherm and Carbolite models. These systems are indispensable for solid-state reactions, annealing processes, and other high-temperature syntheses critical for creating novel quantum materials. The diverse range of furnaces allows for precise temperature control and atmospheric conditions tailored to specific material requirements. (Know More)
Compact Arc Melter MAM-1, Made in Germany by Edmund Bühler (Temperature up to 3500 °C, Know More). It is essential for achieving high-purity novel quantum materials and bulk metallic crystals.
The Redstone Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) system is a sophisticated instrument within the QML facilities. NMR spectroscopy is a powerful technique for probing the local electronic and magnetic environment of atomic nuclei in materials, providing invaluable insights into their microscopic properties. It is crucial for understanding the fundamental quantum mechanical interactions and low-energy excitations in quantum materials.
