Abstract

The preparation and measurement of nickel spheres for use in the calibration of magnetometers are described. The absolute value of the magnetic moment of a set these spheres near room temperature was measured using the Faraday method. The variations of moment for temperatures near room temperature and for applied fields between 0.3 and 5 T were also determined.
