VSM Vibrating-sample Magnetometer.
| FEATURES | NIJMEGEN |
|---|---|
| Local Contact | Uli ZEITLER |
| Field range | 0...33 T |
| Temperature range | 1.2 ... 350 K |
| Sample size | Typically, disc shaped pallets with< 4 mm diameter, 1 mm height (other arbitrarily shaped samples can also be accommodated) minimum sample sized limited by sensitivity The samples can be mounted with a defined orientation |
| Sensitivity | |
| Typical experiment | isothermal magnetisation M (B) sweep rates (typical) 0.5 … 5 T/min field cooling M (T)rate: > 10 K/min (uncontrolled) < 3 K/min (controlled, typical) |
| Sample Holder | 
VSM sample holder with typical sample inside Samples are mounted and fixed by mechanical clamping into a cylindrical plastic holder |
