Review of the DynaCool user workshop
On 25 and 26 June, it was our pleasure to welcome numerous participants from several countries to the 2019 DynaCool user seminar in Darmstadt.
Natalia Tristan and Stefan Riesner presented theoretical and practical know-how about the PPMS family instruments. Which components are needed for the measurement? How does the temperature control work? What data is stored by the software? Which parts require maintenance? All these questions and many more were answered and discussed in detail. The breaks and the “Workshop Dinner” provided the opportunity for an exchange of experience with each other and with our experts for measurement systems from Quantum Design. A following PPMS workshop for users will take place at the end of September, for the first time in Copenhagen/Lingsby. For details and registration, please visit our website (click “Events” on the top navigation) or contact us by phone or email.
For users who will not be able to join, we are happy to provide the presentations from the workshop electronically.

Combining work and pleasure. After the seminar, the group visited the Russian Chapel on the Mathildenhoehe in Darmstadt - a place currently running for World Heritage status. The chapel was built by the last Russian Tsar Nicholas II and his wife Alexandra, who was born in Darmstadt as Princess Alix of Hesse and by Rhine. The chapel ensured that the highly religious Russian royal family was able to attend Russian-orthodox services while visiting the empresses’ hometown.
