Collecting state-of-the-art knowledge from information scattered throughout the literature,
this handbook describes magnetic materials and sensors, the testing of magnetic materials …

The nature and diversity of the magnetic properties of the planets have been investigated by
a large number of space missions over the past 50 years. It is clear that without the magnetic …

Polarization spectroscopy in 4He around 1083 nm is observed and optimized with a
distributed feedback fiber laser and is applied for frequency stabilization. In order to improve …

The prototype of a 4He pumped vector magnetometer is presented. Large auxiliary coils
systems used in previously developed apparatus to allow vector measurements from a …

The role of the Absolute Scalar Magnetometer (ASM) in the European Space Agency (ESA)
Swarm mission is to deliver absolute measurements of the magnetic field's strength for …

Atomic magnetometers have very high absolute precision and sensitivity to magnetic fields
but suffer from a fundamental problem: the vectorial or tensorial interaction of light with …

In parametric-resonance magnetometers (PRMs), optically pumped atoms subject to rf fields
allow one to measure the components of a very low magnetic field. Here, instead of using a …

Magnetometers using optical pumping of atoms are very sensitive devices which can be
used for the measurement of the earth magnetic field and its fluctuations. Among them 4He …

Abstract European Space Agency's Swarm satellites carry a new generation of 4He absolute
magnetometers (ASM), designed by CEA‐Léti and developed in partnership with Centre …
