Torsion balance measurements of the magnetic anisotropy of vanadium doped A1b2sOb3s

Abstract

Therefore, the problem of this study is threefold: the construction of an anisotropic torsion balance, the calibration of the balance, and the measurement of the anisotropic susceptibility of VpO^:AlpO~ in previously unexplored temperature regions in order to obtain either new or improved information concerning the magnetic properties and crystalline field of the sample.
