Sr. Bandler et al., STUDY OF PARAMAGNETIC-IONS IN METALS FOR USE IN CRYOGENIC PARTICLE-DETECTION, Czechoslovak journal of Physics, 46, 1996, pp. 2889-2890
We discuss a microcalorimeter for particle detection in which the abso
rbed energy is determined by the change in magnetization of paramagnet
ic spins in a metallic host. Tile magnetization is measured with a SQU
ID magnetometer. Results are presented for the system of erbium ions i
n gold.
