Figure 1 from "Resonant torsion magnetometry in anisotropic quantum materials": Schematic overview of resonant torsion magnetometry. a First and second derivatives of the free energy with respect to the magnetic field B and the field orientation θ. b The quartz tuning fork of the Akiyama A-probe (http://www.akiyamaprobe.com) is electrically excited at the lowest-resonance mode of the silicon cantilever, producing a large out-of-plane motion at the tip of the cantilever. c Schematic representing the principle of measuring the magnetotropic coefficient k. In a magnetic field, the magnetic torque brings the lever to a new equilibrium position. The magnetic energy of the samples changes the effective stiffness of the lever, leading to a shift in the resonant frequency. d The silicon cantilever glued to each leg of the quartz tuning fork with a single crystal of RuCl3 mounted at the tip with Bayer silicone grease

Who said that AFM probes can only be used for Atomic Force Microscopy? In the article “Resonant torsion magnetometry in anisotropic quantum materials” which just… Read More »Resonant torsion magnetometry in anisotropic quantum materials
