This application note, written by Lake Shore Senior Scientist and VP Brad Dodrill, describes a vibrating sample magnetometer with the vector option (VVSM), or biaxial VSM. In addition to standard hysteresis loop measurements, it provides for measurement of the angular dependence of the vector components of the total magnetization, and also provides for indirect measurement of torque curves for anisotropy constant determinations.
