Millikelvin magnetometry up to 30~T using a multi-cross micro-Hall sensor

Abstract

We report a multi-cross micro-Hall sensor fabricated from an MBE-grown GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure for high-sensitivity magnetometry. The device enables dc magnetization measurements at temperatures down to $\sim$15~mK and in dc magnetic fields up to 30 T. Bulk samples with dimensions ranging from 100~$\mu$m to 1~mm can be measured with a resolution better than 1$\mu$T with a 1~$\mu$A excitation at 13.77 Hz. Test-of-performance measurements were carried out by probing the field-dependent magnetization plateaus of the triangular-lattice quantum magnet K${}_2$Co${}_2$(SeO${}_3$)${}_3$ at 20~mK, the antiferromagnetic transition of K${}_3$GdTe${}_2$O${}_9$ near 220 mK via temperature-dependent magnetization, and the quantum oscillations in a ruthenium single crystal. A simple and reliable sample-mounting setup that ensures reproducible magnetic measurements is provided.
