Abstract

We describe a recently constructed apparatus for the measurement of the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio of free-standing sputtered multilayer films. In comparison with more conventional methods, this is expected to permit both measurement with lower uncertainties and interpretation which is more straightforward. A separate apparatus for the accurate measurement of the conductivity, magnetoresistance, and Hall coefficient of such systems has been prepared which will enable the contribution of Fermi surface-Brillouin zone interactions to the behaviour of these materials to be assessed.
