Vibrating Sample Magnetometer(VSM):

PAR 155



The magnetic properties of solids are very important, and attempts to understand them have
led to a deep insight into the fundamental structure of many solids, both metallic and non-
metallic. The VSM is the instrument used to measure the magnetic moment, the most
fundamental quantity in magnetism, of solid samples.
When a sample material is placed in uniform magnetic field, a dipole moment proportional to
the product of sample susceptibility and applied field is induced in the sample. If the sample is
made to undergo sinusoidal motion as well, an electrical signal will be induced in suitable
located stationary pick-coils. This signal, which is at the vibration frequency, is proportional to
the magnetic moment, vibration amplitude and vibration frequency. The instrument displays
the magnetic moment in e.m.u. units.
