VSM (vibrating sample magnetometer)
GE&R's Vibrating Sample Magnetometer can characterize magnetic properties of materials at various temperatures and magnetic fields. We offer many types of standard hysteresis measurements as well as custom measurements designed to meet your specific needs.
New Pricing: Standard Magnetic Hysteresis Measurements - $250 per sample. Turnaround time for these measurements is typically 3-5 business days. Please contact us > to submit your samples.
For questions regarding pricing for other types of magnetic measurements please contact us > for a quote.
Our system specifications are as follows:
Characterization Temperature Range: -220C to 125C (50-400K)
Characterization Magnetic Field Range: 0 - 3T
Some measurements that we can do which are useful for characterizing magnetic properties are the following:
-Magnetic Hysteresis - Magnetization vs. Magnetic Field
-Magnetization vs. Temperature
-Magnetization Isotherms - both heating mode and cooling mode possible
-Full Evaluation of Magnetocaloric Material. This includes M vs. T curve and Magnetization Isotherms evaluated around the magnetic phase transition temperature using both heating and cooling mode. The raw data will also be provided, which can be used to calculate the change in entropy (delta S), refrigeration capacity, hysteresis loss, etc.
We are here to help! Let us know what data you are looking for we can help determine the best measurement parameters to meet your needs. Please contact us for assistance.
The VSM can handle films, powders, or pieces. We need at least a few milligrams of material for measurement.
Pieces or Powders - VSM Measurement
Thin Film - In-plane vs perpendicular VSM measurements
Please contact us at sales@geandr.com to setup your sample submission. We will need to know the detailed material composition of your sample. Questions on how to prepare your samples? We can help. Please contact us for assistance.
