Research Abstract |
The micro superconducting quantum interference device (micro-SQUID) based detection systems have successfully been adopted for investigations of the magnetic properties of individual micron- or nanometer-sized materials directly. Until then, only a low temperature superconductor type by the French group has been developed and has succeeded in measurements with a sensitivity of 10^4 μB in the magnetic field up to 20 kOe and below 6 K. We have developed the high temperature superconductor type micro-SQUID magnetometer which enables magnetization measurements of a single micron-sized crystal of molecular magnet with a sensitivity of 10^8 μB in the field up to 8 kOe and at 4-70 K and furthermore the estimation of the absolute quantity of magnetization for the first time.
