摘要
A technique has been devised for precise in situ sample angular positioning and readout in a commercial superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) susceptometer. The axis of rotation is perpendicular to the applied magnetic field and the temperature range is from 2 K up to room temperature. The technique has an accuracy in angular position of about 0.3%, approximately one degree over one complete rotation. A small coil with an ac current excitation is fixed on the sample stage, and the ac SQUID response is used to determine the angular position of the stage. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
