Vibrating Sample Magnetometer
PRODUCT OVERVIEW - A vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) operates on Faraday’s Law of Induction, which tells us that a changing magnetic field will produce an electric field. This electric field can be measured and can tell us information about the changing magnetic field. A VSM is used to measure the magnetic behaviour of magnetic materials.Backed and supported by over 40 years of expertise in measurement technologies, Lake Shore’s fully integrated vibrating sample magnetometers (VSM) are used to characterize the DC magnetic properties of materials as a function of magnetic field, temperature, and time. Available in three different variable gap electromagnet configurations providing fields up to 3.1 T, Lake Shore VSM systems are the most sensitive electromagnet-based VSMs commercially available and feature the broadest temperature range capability — 4.2 K to 1,273 K (-269 °C to 1000 °C). These systems measure a wide range of sample types, making them ideal tools for the most demanding materials research applications and quality control of magnetic materials. An assortment of options, including low temperature cryostats, a high temperature oven, a single stage variable temperature assembly, vector coils, autorotation, an MR probe, and a Helmholtz coil expand the functionality of Lake Shore VSM systems.New materials push the limits of electromagnet-based VSM systems. Lake Shore combines high sensitivity, precision electronics, flexible software, and variable magnetic field and temperature into the most advanced electromagnet-based VSM. The high level of technical support and service we provide exemplifies our commitment to the research community and industry.
The fully integrated IDEAS VSM software uses an intuitive Windows® interface for system operation, data acquisition, and analysis. Select a default experiment profile or customize your own profile to run a virtually unlimited number of experiments. Set up and execute measurement routines and experiments quickly and easily. All system parameters and functions are controlled for unattended operation and any number of parameters can be automatically extracted from hysteresis loop data. Real-time field-dependent response tracks field changes for accurate curve shape definitions and parameter extraction. Substrate corrections and backgrounds can be easily subtracted from measurement data. Calculate and display derivative curves, automatically remove offsets, and determine measurement results. Display real-time feedback of processed data in both tabular and graphical form in CGS or SI units.
