Abstract

The principles of several of the most popular macroscopic magnetic measurement techniques are discussed for the vibrating sample magnetometer, SQUID magnetometer, ac susceptometer, ac force magnetometer, and torque magnetometers. These types of instruments are available commercially as stand-alone computer-controlled systems, Selected examples of recent measurements on thin films, small particles, and clusters of magnetic ions are presented.
