Abstract

We demonstrate a simple and easy-to-build probe designed to be loaded into a widely available Quantum Design Physical Properties Measurement System (PPMS) cryostat, with a detachable shielded sample puck section and robust heat sinking of three pairs of coaxial cables. It can be in principle used with any low-temperature cryostat. Our modular puck design has a radiation shield for thermal isolation and protection of the delicate sample space while handling and allows any variety of experimental setup benefiting from shielded coaxial wiring to be constructed on a selection of sample pucks. Pucks can be quickly and easily switched, and the system makes use of the simple yet extremely stable temperature and magnetic field control of the easy-to-use PPMS system. We focus on a setup designed for measurements of the thermal Hall effect and show that this system can yield unprecedented resolution over a wide temperature range and with rapid sample mounting or changing—allowing a large collection of potential samples to be screened for this novel physics. Our design aims to make these sensitive but challenging measurements quick, reliable, cheap, and accessible, through the use of a standard, widespread base cryostat and a system of modular removable sample stage pucks to allow quick turnaround and screening of a large number of candidate samples for potential new thermal Hall physics.
