Paleomagnetism Laboratory
Lehigh University’s Paleomagnetism Laboratory recently moved into a new building on the Lehigh campus, and with it came a new magnetically shielded room built by Gary Scott and Lodestar Magnetics.
Lehigh University’s Paleomagnetism Laboratory
- 3 axis 2G Enterprises 755 superconducting rock magnetometer, including alternating field demagnetizer and automatic sample delivery system
- 2 layer magnetostatically shielded room-background field 350 nT
- Schonstedt GSD-5 tumbling alternating field demagnetizer
- ASC Model TD 48-SC thermal demagnetizer modified to allow field to be applied during cooling between two temperature set points
- Molspin Minispin spinner magnetometer
- Agico Kappabridge KLY-3S Spinner/Static magnetic susceptibility/anisotropy system
- Bartington MAG-01 fluxgate magnetometer with axial and transverse probes
- ASC Scientific IM-10-30 impulse magnetometer (max. field 5 T)
- Modification to GSD-5 to allow application of partial ARMs and AAR (circuit design from Jim Marvin-University of Minnesota)
- 0.2 T electromagnet and GM1A AML Hall probe to set field of electromagnet.
- Sapphire Instruments SI-2 susceptibility meter
- 3 Pomeroy diamond bit rock sampling drills and Pomeroy core orienter
- ASC dual blade trim saw for sample preparation
- Drill press for drilling oriented hand samples
- dual-boot Intel iMac for data processing
- Windows 7 Dell computer for data acquisition from the 2G magnetometer
