A High Sensitivity Custom-Built Vibrating Sample Magnetometer

Abstract: This work details the construction and optimization of a fully automated, custom-built, remote controlled vibrating sample magnetometer for use in spintronics related research and teaching. Following calibration by a standard 6 mm diameter Ni disc sample with known magnetic moment, hysteresis measurements of Nd-Fe-B thin films acquired by this built vibrating sample magnetometer were compared to the data taken using a commercial superconducting quantum interference device and showed very similar results.

“…Magnetic coupling between two ferromagnets, a soft phase Fe and a hard phase Nd-Fe-B primarily in the Nd 2 Fe 14 B phase, was systematically studied using a house-developed vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) [43], and the crystalline structure was investigated using 1-D X-ray diffraction (XRD, Bruker AXS D8 Discover A25, Karlsruhe, Germany). The details of the in-house developed VSM can be found elsewhere [43]. All samples were grown via DC magnetron sputtering in a high vacuum environment.…”

“…There are several reasons for adopting this method here. First, sample geometry and material composition: the vibrating sample magnetometer technique [30] poses challenges for our specific sample types, which consist of either powder or viscous magnetic composites. Utilizing a vibrating sample magnetometer could potentially alter the intrinsic structure of these materials, thereby compromising the integrity of our results.…”
