The Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) is used to measure the magnetic properties of solids and liquids. The magnetometer measures magnetic moment as a function of an applied magnetic field. A unique feature of this system the ability to measure (inverse) magnetostriction using a special sample holder that strains the sample during measurement.
Capabilities:
- Minimum detectable moment 10-9 Am2
- Maximum field strength ±700 mT
- Field resolution 0.1 mT
- Applied force from 7 N to 20 N for magnetostriction measurements
- Sample dimensions
- 1 cm x 1 cm
- 0.5 mm maximum thickness
- 60 μL liquid sample volume
- Custom sample dimensions may be accommodated
