A simple, versatile and fully automatic force magnetometer is described. The sample is elastically mounted, and the force is determined from the displacement, which is detected capacitively. Electric measurements may be carried out alternating with magnetic measurements. The sensitivity is competitive with that of most commercial magnetometers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
