Abstract

An apparatus for measuring static magnetic susceptibilities, based on a sensitive (10^-9 N) vacuum microbalance, has been adapted for measuring magnetic moments of small superconducting samples in small gradients of low fields. Data taken on vanadium at 3.2 K can be analysed for sample moments consisting of two parts: an induced one, proportional to the field; and a permanent one. The analyses of the data show that for a single sample on an undisturbed balance the relative precision on the forces at low temperatures can be better than 0.04 %. For coil positions ranging over 2 cm a good agreement is observed between the experimental and the calculated forces by fitting for one proportionality constant.
