Micromechanical "trampoline" magnetometers for use in large pulsed magnetic fields
A silicon micromechanical magnetometer was constructed and successfully used in 60-tesla pulsed magnetic fields of less than 100-millisecond duration. The device is small, inexpensive to fabricate, and easy to use. It features a fast mechanical response (up to 50,000 hertz) and extremely high sensitivity yet is relatively robust against electrical and mechanical noise. Quantum oscillations in the magnetization of a 1-microgram sam pie of an organic superconductor, K-[bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene](2)Cu(NCS)(2), have been observed with this device.
