A vibrating-sample magnetometer (VSM) is an accurate scientific instrument used to measure magnetic properties. A magnetic material sample is first magnetized via a uniform external magnetic field. The sample is then sinusoidally vibrated via linear actuator or a mechanical vibrator. The induced voltage from the magnetized sample is sensed in a close-proximity pickup coil whereby the […]

Remanence, Retentivity or Remanent Magnetization
Note magnetic parameter Retentivity, Remanence , remanent magnetization, Retentivity or residual magnetism is the magnetization left behind in a ferromagnetic material (such as iron) after an external magnetic field is removed. After certain classes of magnet material are “magnetized” they have remanence. The remanence of magnetic materials provides the magnetic memory in magnetic storage devices, and in common magnets or easily magnetized materials. In cases where […]
