Instrument: Dilution Refrigerator and Superconducting Magnet System, Models 126-250 TOF and 6T-76-H3. Manufacturer: Leiden Cryogenics B.V., The Netherlands. Intended Use: The instrument is intended to be used to carry out electrical, magnetic and thermodynamic measurements at the lowest possible temperature and under a magnetic field up to 6 Tesla, of metallic systems infiltrated into ordered porous media.
