A benchtop induction-based AC magnetometer for a fast characterization of magnetic nanoparticles
In this study, we report a development of a benchtop induction-based AC magnetometer to realize a simple, wideband, and sensitive AC magnetometer for bio-sensing applications and characterization of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). We investigate the inductance and parasitic capacitance of six differe...

In this study, we report a development of a benchtop induction-based AC magnetometer to realize a simple, wideband, and sensitive AC magnetometer for bio-sensing applications and characterization of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). We investigate the inductance and parasitic capacitance of six different pickup coil geometries and compare their sensitivity and usable frequency range. In the pickup coil design, the number of turns and coil section separation are varied from 200 to 400 turns, and 1 to 4 sections, respectively. We find that the usable frequency range is greatly affected by the pickup coil's inductance due to the self-resonance phenomena compared to their parasitic capacitance. A low noise instrument amplifier circuit (AD8429, Analog Devices, USA) was integrated and fabricated on a printed circuit board to amplify the weak signal from the pickup coil. We also implement a generalized Goertzel algorithm to achieve fast signal amplitude and phase extractions at a frequency. The developed magnetometer shows a sensitivity of 10-8 Am2/Hz at 6 Hz and a frequency range of up to 158 kHz. Using the developed AC magnetometer, we demonstrate the viscosity effect on the frequency response of thermally blocked, single-core nanoparticles (SHP30, Ocean Nanotech, USA) in glycerol solutions. The excitation frequency is swept from 5 Hz to 158 kHz at a field amplitude of 0.55 mTpp within the acquisition time of 5 min (51 points).
