<\/a>Figure 1 from “Resonant torsion magnetometry in anisotropic quantum materials”<\/a>: 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 \u03b8. 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<\/p><\/div>\n There are three advantages why it makes sense to divert the NANOSENSORS\u2122 Akiyama-probe<\/a> from it\u2019s orginal intended use and use it for resonant torque magnetometry instead:<\/p>\n 1. the relatively large spring constant of the silicon cantilever allows the authors to extend ultrasensitive and dynamic cantilever magnetometry to macroscopic sample sizes<\/p>\n 3. the electrical read-out of the A-probe eliminates the need for optical detection of the resonant frequency, thus making setup relatively straightforward and more robust compared to previous approaches.\u201d*<\/p>\n *K.
