Optimum Configuration for the Measurement of the Magnetic Moment of Samples of Cubical Shape with a Fluxgate Magnetometer

Klaus Helbig

Abstract

The measurement of the magnetic moment of rock samples with a fluxgate magnetometer is discussed. A sample-fluxgate-configuration is proposed for which the influence of inhomogeneities of the sample and geometric inaccuracies is a minimum. Special attention is paid to samples of cubical shape.
