Installation of our System
The installation of our instrument has begun on the 5th of October, 2015, and is slated to be completed by the first week of November.
An outline of the instrument installation along with the pictures is detailed below:
29th October: Filling up of cryogens in the liquid Nitrogen tanks, meant to supply gaseous and liquid nitrogen to the facility.
5th October: Delivery of 600 MHz (1H Larmor frequency) magnet and 7.2 T gyrotron by Bruker; Setting up and alignment of the magnet and gyrotron.
6th - 7th October: The magnet and the gyrotron were pumped to attain vacuum.
8th October: The 600 MHz magnet was cryo-cooled to liquid nitrogen temperature.
9th - 15th October: The 600 MHz magnet is cooled down to 4 K using Helium, and subsequently charged. The gyrotron was charged and discharged with the vacuum maintained for later installation.
21st - 23rd October: The magnet is cryoshimmed, and put on field. The installation of the spectrometer magnet is completed.
26th October: Installation of the Gyrotron begins.
27th October: RT spectra are recorded and the magnet is shimmed. The cooling cabinet for low temperature experiments is installed.
29th October: The gyrotron tube is being put in the magnet.
30th October - 2nd November: Cryogens are filled in the LT MAS unit and low temperature experiments are started. The machine is being calibrated before customer training begins on 4th November.
6th November: Installation and customer training has finished. Our system is fully operational now with user end tests are calibrations being performed.
