Module 6 : Magnetic properties Vector and Scaler Instruments

Lecture 30 : Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM)

SQUID Magnetometer:

The magnitude of flux quantum (called also as fluxon) is tiny. Therefore, the sensitivity of the SQUID (<&less; is quite high as compared to VSM.

The typical photoview of Magnetic Property Measurement System (MPMS) offered by Quantum Design using SQUID is shown in Figure 30.06.
