High temperature mechanical field-cycling setup

A new design of a mechanical field-cycling setup, operating in the wide temperature range up to 1200 K has been implemented. The sample is moved by a stepping motor in the stray field of a superconducting magnet inside a furnace of homogeneous temperature profile. For a field range from 0.75 to 7 T (transfer length 24 cm), the transfer time is less than 100 ms. The temperature profile is homogenized to better than 1% of the absolute set temperature. The main objective of this design is to extend the T1 relaxation dispersion range covered by electronic field-cycling to higher frequencies.
