Abstract
A Faraday-type magnetometer is described in which the magnetic force i s measured capacitively by monitoring the displacement of a spring-sus pended quartz sample holder. A double gradient coil is used in order t o compensate the force on the empty sample holder, thus minimizing the background signal. The magnetometer can be used at any temperature do wn to 1.4 K and has an ultimate sensitivity for magnetic moments of 2 x 10(-6) emu (G cm(3)). (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
