Cryo BiasingOverview

Hummingbird Scientific’s Cryo-Biasing TEM Sample Holder enables researchers to conduct in-situ electrical biasing experiments of materials at cryogenic temperatures.  The sample can be cooled down to liquid nitrogen temperatures and heated up to 1000°C with closed-loop control and accurate sensing of temperatures at the desired setpoint. Key characteristics of the holder include:

  • Stable high-resolution imaging at variable temperatures
  • Electrical biasing for electrical transport measurements
  • MEMS chips compatibility for biasing & heating
  • User-friendly and less pre-work for operation

Example research applications of this holder include transport measurements in quantum materials like:

  • Emergent monopoles
  • Skyrmions
  • Topological insulators
  • Superconductors
  • Batteries
