Magnetic field strength gradiometer

Abstract

Measurements of magnetic field parameters are the basis of all magnetic measurements. Most methods of measuring magnetic field parameters are based on force (energy) interaction of magnetic field with macro- or microscopic currents and electromagnetic induction. The paper considers the possibility of constructing a magnetic field strength gradient meter based on the absolute helical instability of electron-hole plasma of a semiconductor sample. The functional scheme of the gradiometer and the results of experimental and theoretical studies of the sensitive element of the gradiometer are presented.
