CONTENT Inside this Issue: FEATURES & COLUMNS 6 Magnetometry Measurements: Considerations for Magnetic and FirstOrder-Reversal-Curve Measurements page 4 Magnetometers are used to characterize magnetic material properties. Magnetometry techniques can be broadly classified into two categories: inductive and force-based. Common inductive methods include vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), extraction magnetometry, AC susceptometry and superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometry. The two most commonly used inductive techniques are VSM and SQUID magnetometry. 10 Berkeley Lab Scientists Discover New Atomically Layered, Thin Magnet page 10 It may not seem like a material as thin as an atom could hide any surprises, but a research team led by scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) discovered an unexpected magnetic property in a two-dimensional material. The scientists found that a 2-D van der Waals crystal, part of a class of material whose atomically thin layers can be peeled off one by one with adhesive tape, possessed an intrinsic ferromagnetism. 14 Noise Suppression Sheets: Ultra-Thin Magnetic Sheets with High Permeability 19 Permanent Magnet Market Size to Surpass $50 Billion by 2024 22 Permanent Magnet Mistakes, Part Seven page 18 DEPARTMENTS 4 Editor's Choice 10 Research & Development 14 New Products 18 Industry News 21 Marketplace/Advertising Index www.MagneticsMagazine.com Connect with Us www.MagneticsMagazine.com Summer 2017 * Magnetics Business & Technology 3https://www.linkedin.com/groups/4428712 https://twitter.com/MagneticsMag https://www.facebook.com/pages/Magnetics-Business-Technology-Magazine/170794876292239 http://www.MagneticsMagazine.com http://www.MagneticsMagazine.com
