A Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) is a scientific instrument used to measure the magnetic properties of materials. It works by measuring the force exerted on a vibrating sample placed in a magnetic field
Description
How it Works
Sample Placement: The sample to be measured is placed in a small coil within a magnetic field.
Vibration: The sample is vibrated at a known frequency.
Magnetic Field Interaction: As the sample vibrates, it interacts with the external magnetic field, inducing an electromotive force (EMF) in the coil.
EMF Measurement: The induced EMF is measured and analyzed.
Magnetic Properties Calculation: The measured EMF is directly related to the magnetic properties of the sample, such as magnetization, susceptibility, and coercivity.
