Lake Shore's M91 measurement controller delivers significantly higher levels of precision, speed, and convenience as compared to traditional Hall effect measurement solutions. Combining all the necessary Hall measurement functions into a single instrument, the M91 automatically executes measurements and calculates the final Hall and mobility parameters. The instrument eliminates manual trial-and-error steps and ensures that measurements are always made under optimal conditions for the sample.
Most commonly measured materials can be analyzed in a few seconds. By eliminating the need to reverse the magnetic field during the measurement, the M91 is especially beneficial when using with the superconducting magnet of a PPMS, allowing for much faster analysis of low-mobility material samples in van der Pauw (vdP) wired geometries.

A convenient, single instrument
Traditional Hall effect measurement systems (HMS) provide basic electrical measurement instrumentation combined with a switching unit to measure sample resistivity and Hall voltages but must rely on separate PC-based software to perform pre- and post-measurement calculations in order to ultimately derive the physical parameters that researchers need to know—resistivity, carrier type, carrier concentration, mobility, and Hall coefficient.The M91 FastHall measurement controller combines all of the necessary HMS functions into a single instrument, automating and optimizing the measurement process, and directly reporting the calculated parameters.
