Abstract. Due to rapid development of the scientific and applied research in magnetic control and magnetophoresis of ferro-and ferromagnetic disperse fraction of various technological, natural and industry-specific media, the Faraday method is again in high demand as it is mainly aimed at defining magnetic susceptibility of solid and heterogeneous samples of small volumes. Based on the appearing (and then measured) ponderomotive force impacting the sample, the method allows accurate determining of single particles magnetic susceptibility by using the data of the sample represented by a conglomerate of the particles of such a fraction. In addition, it is mentioned that to date there is still a great gap in the methodology of the Faraday method as there are no exact recommendations on choosing both the form of the polar pieces of the Faraday balance and the positioning of the sample (the location of the working zone) in the interpolar area. Owing to these drawbacks, the well-known and long-time used Faraday method cannot be considered substantiated to a satisfactory degree. Thus, in our point of view, the treatment of the results obtained earlier with the help of the method should be cautious. In our work, we experimentally defined and substantiated an approach to identifying a working (local) zone, viz. the zone with stable values of the magnetic force factor -the product of the field intensity and induction by its gradient. The approach features the relative phenomenological analysis and is exemplified by polar pieces of non-traditional spherical form. It has been demonstrated that in order to state the fact of mere existence of this zone (and its location) in the interpolar area, the coordinate (usually nonlinear one) characteristic of intensity or induction, which is obligatorily obtained in an experiment, should have an inflexion, which guarantees a functionally extreme view of the following coordinate characteristics both of the gradient and that of the force factor. We also established the coordinates and the length of the working zone in a specific interpolar area.
В настоящей работе рассматривается малоизученный вопрос идентификации рабочей зоны (зоны для координации исследуемых образцов малых объемов) в весах Фарадея по определению магнитной восприимчивости образцов пондеромоторным методом на основании специально получаемой координатной характеристики индукции поля между полюсными наконечниками указанных весов. Показано, что такая идентификация может быть вполне результативной в том случае, когда данная характеристика, обычно нелинейная и не поддающаяся желаемой, даже частичной, линейной аппроксимации, имеет перегиб. Тогда появляется возможность объективной линейной аппроксимации определенного участка этой характеристики, т.е. констатации стабильных значений градиента индукции в соответствии с принятым условием позиционирования образца. Становится также возможной иллюстрация экстремального вида характеристики градиента индукции; в окрестности экстремума значения градиента относительно стабильны. Ключевые слова: весы Фарадея, магнитная восприимчивость, зона размещения образца, характеристики напряженности (индукции), экстремум градиента.
