    Docket Number: 17-019. Applicant: University of California, 
Berkeley, Berkeley, CA 94720. Instrument: High Field Cryogen-Free 
Measurement System (CFMS) for Precision Measurement of Physical 
Properties. Manufacturer: Cryogenic US, LLC., United Kingdom. Intended 
Use: See notice at 83 FR 45104, September 5, 2018. Comments: None 
received. Decision: Approved. We know of no instruments of equivalent 
scientific value to the foreign instruments described below, for such 
purposes as 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 study thin films of metal-oxides for advanced oxide-based 
electronic devices, magnetic and electrical properties of oxide 
materials and devices at low temperatures and/or high magnetic fields. 
Angle dependent magnetoelectric properties of the devices will be 
explored on multiple axes. The investigations done with this instrument 
will lead to advancement of understanding of the properties of metal-
oxide thin films and their interfaces for new generation of oxide-based 
microelectronic devices.
