Susceptibilitymeter MFK2-FA (AGICO) for the measurement of low-field susceptibility, its frequency dependence and its anisotropy
Instrument description:
The MFK2-FA susceptibilitymeter measures low-field susceptibility at three different frequencies (916, 3904 and 15616 Hz) and at variable fields (2 to 700 A/m). With a sensitivity of 2.10-8 SI (at low frequency), it is suitable for discrete samples of various types and up to several centimetres in size. The device also allows to precisely determine the tensor of the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility using a rotation measurement mode in three different positions.
Analyses performed on the instrument:
- Low-field magnetic susceptibility
- Measurement of frequency dependence
- Measurement of anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS)
- Adapted for discrete centimetric samples of rocks, sediments, soils, archaeological baked clays…
