Magnetic Properties of a Paper Clip –
Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) Option
PPMS^® VersaLab^®

The objective of this educational module is to introduce the basic measurement capabilities of the VersaLab Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) Option. A simple isothermal magnetization measurement on a piece of a paper clip will be performed.

Several items are needed for this experiment, which include:

Paper clips
Wire cutters
Non-magnetic adhesive, in this case zircar cement (see section 3.3 of the VSM user's manual)
The palladium calibration standard that comes with the VSM kit
A brass sample holder for mounting the sample
A scale to measure the mass of your sample
A VSM sample mounting station
Tweezers
Toothpick
