Abstract

An ac susceptometer is designed for measuring ac susceptibility of disc, film or tape samples of high-temperature superconductors at 77 K in an applied field as high and uniform as possible. It is equipped with a pair of magnetizing Helmholtz coils and a pair of coaxial concentric measuring–compensating coils. For this, the field uniformity and impedance of the magnetizing Helmholtz coils with square coil cross-section and the flux linkage in the measuring–compensating coils produced by the sample moment are systematically and accurately computed based on the analytical formulae for the mutual inductance between two loops and the self-inductance of a thin solenoid. Problems related to the susceptometer calibration and the susceptibility measurements are discussed.
