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
