CryoFACE

The CryoFACE facility contains a Physical Property Measurement System (PPMS), Magnetic Properties Measurement System (MPMS), and X-ray diffractometer.

Training

Before users are allowed to operate the equipment at the Facility, they are required to attend a training session and pass a test. Please contact the respective equipment administrator for more information (contact detail below) before requesting for training. To schedule a training session, complete the Training Request Form​. Please read the lab rules, the Do's and Don'ts policy, and manuals before use. 

Booking Equipment

After passing the training, you may book the equipment via CEBS NTU (FOM login). You need to register an account in FOM if this is your first access. If you are not an NTU staff member or student, please email our facility staff (contact detail below).

The charging rate schedule is shown below. Different rates are charged for SPMS users, NTU Non-SPMS users, Non-NTU academic users, and commercial users.
