A broad range of equipment is available to provide different sample environments for neutron scattering experiments with a wide temperature range, T = 30 mK - 2000 K, with variable magnetic fields up to H = 17 Tesla and with pressure up to p = 10 kbar. The components are mutually compatible and can be used on most of the instruments both in the experimental and the neutron guide hall (see table of specification for limited ranges with combined equipment)
Additional to the sample environment provided for neutron scattering the sample environment group runs different laboratories for complementary sample characterization and preparation. These laboratories are run in collaboration with the Institute for Complex Magnetic Materials (LaMMB - MagLab) and the Institute for Soft Matter and Functional Materials (DEGAS - GasLab).
