Sourced in United States

The SQUID-VSM magnetometer is a scientific instrument designed to measure the magnetic properties of materials. It utilizes a Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) to detect and measure extremely small magnetic signals. The core function of this magnetometer is to provide accurate and sensitive measurements of the magnetic moments of samples.

Magnetic Characterization of CrSiTe3

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Single-crystal samples of CrSiTe3 were prepared by the self-flux technique13 . The structure and phase purity were confirmed by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction measurements at room temperature. The magnetization was measured using a Quantum Design SQUID-VSM magnetometer with the magnetic field applied parallel to the c axis of the sample. Isotherms were collected at an interval of 0.5 K around TC. Care has been taken to ensure that every curve was initially magnetized. The applied magnetic field Ha has been corrected by the demagnetization of the sample following the method described in ref. 29 (link) and the corrected H was used for the analysis of critical behavior.

Cells incubated with SPION were washed and detached by trypsinization followed by washing and centrifugation. After performing a cell count, cells were centrifuged again and the pellet lyophilized overnight. The amount of SPION loaded into the cells was measured by superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometry. A Quantum Design SQUID‐VSM magnetometer (Quantum Design Inc, San Diego, CA) was used to apply a magnetic field to each sample in the range of 7 T to −7 T at a temperature of 300 K. A background diamagnetic component from the sample holder and diamagnetic compounds in the sample was determined from the linear regions of the graph (at fields above +3T and below −3T) and removed. The saturation magnetic moment due to the SPION in the samples thus obtained was used to estimate the SPION mass per cell, assuming a saturation magnetization for the SPION of 73 emu/g. This was then plotted against the concentration of SPION in the incubation medium.

Colloidal magnetite NPs were prepared
in aqueous reaction medium using a previously reported hydrothermal
method;12 the detailed synthesis procedure
is described in the Supporting Information (SI). During synthesis, sodium oleate was used as a surfactant for the
formation of OL-capped magnetite NPs, which are colloidally stable
in organic solvents for long periods of time. To investigate their
structural evolution with thermal treatment, as-synthesized OL-capped

a static vacuum.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
