the cross grain direction of core loss is no more than
1.5 times the straight grain direction (i.e., the rolling
direction) of core loss. NOES has a magnetic
permeability that does not exceed 1.65 Tesla when
tested at a field of 800 A/m (equivalent to 10
Oersteds) along (i.e., parallel to) the rolling
direction of the sheet (i.e., B800 value). NOES

specific applications and device and
system level characterization of
components manufactured using the
nanoscribe tool. It will be used to
perform research into the nanoscale
patterning of photoactive polymer
materials, including epoxy-based

this is intended to be used, that was
being manufactured in the United States
at the time of order. Reasons: The
instrument will be used to grow high
quality bulk single crystals of a variety
of complex quantum materials
including multiferroics, ferroelectrics
and low-symmetry magnets. Research
projects will include the duality
between FR and PUA states in
hexagonal manganites, the duality
between Ising triangular
antiferromagnetism and improper
ferroelectricity in hexagonal systems,
the domains and domain walls in other
polar or chiral magnets, the domains
and domain walls in new hybrid
improper ferroelectrics, the domains
and domain walls in metastable phases
at the phase boundaries, and magnetic
skyrmion in non-centrosymmetric
magnets. The instrument is equipped
with 5 high power (1000 W in total)
continuous wavelength laser diodes as a
heating source. Five lasers ensure
temperature homogeneity along the
azimuthal direction around the crystal
rod to be greater than 95%. The
maximum temperature gradient along
the growth direction is greater than 150
degrees Celsius/mm. Crystal growth can
go from extremely stable and slow
growth to very rapid quenching mode,
0.01 to 300 mm/h. This enables the
