AC magnetic susceptibility measures magnetic moment of a sample which is exposed to an oscillating external magnetic field.
A capacitive dilatometer measures a change of sample dimension by monitoring the capacitance between two parallel plates.
Dielectric capacitance measures capacitance and dissipation of a bulk or thin film sample.
The user can place small samples into an inductor (i.e., coil) of an LC tank circuit oscillating at a resonant frequency.
Electrical transport measurements can be carried out in temperatures as low as 20 mK and magnetic fields up to 45 T by either AC or DC methods.
EPR and ESR are two names of the same technique (EPR is preferred by the chemists and biologists while ESR is a favorite of physicists) which depends …
Specific heat of a material is a measure of heat necessary to raise the temperature of a given amount of material, typically a gram or a mol, by 1 Kel…
