A magnetized bead in a magnetic field seeks to minimize its magnetic free energy by aligning its magnetic moment with the field direction and by moving towards the maximum of the field's intensity. However, when the bead is coupled to a…
Measurements of magnetic torque are most commonly preformed about a single axis or component of torque. Such measurements are very useful for hysteresis measurements of thin film structures in particular, where high shape anisotropy yields…

The conductance resulting from resonant tunneling through a droplet of $N \sim 30$ electrons is used to measure its chemical potential $\mu_N$. Abrupt shifts of $\mu_N$ occur at sharply defined values of the magnetic field, at which the…
