Research
and development into new materials continues to expand to meet the
wider ranging needs of current and emerging technological applications.
There is a growing trend within academic and industrial research and
development for off the shelf turn-key measurement solutions which
combine ease of use with high level research functionality and
measurement sensitivity.
In
the field of functional materials, the need for specialist turn-key
systems is growing as scientists focus upon research into new materials
and systems for the next generation of semiconductors, photovoltaics,
spintronics and ferromagnetic systems.
The
new Ohmpoint Measurement System from Rhomap, a company based in
Northeast England, is a flexible research tool that offers a range of
software selectable sample connection probe geometries in one system.
The instrument allows users to measure resistance in two or four point
geometry, sheet resistance and magneto-transport behavior, including
Hall effect and magnetoresistance. The flexibility of the system also
enables the user to easily select between individual measurements and
batch scanning of multiple samples. The Ohmpoint system is controlled
through the bespoke Measure software interface.
