title: Calibration of SQUID magnetometer for dilute alloy studies.
abstract: A SQUID magnetometer used in the study of dilute magnetic alloys or other weak magnetic systems can be calibrated by using the nuclear paramagnetism of aluminum metal. This material is useful as a calibration standard since magnetic impurities such as Fe and Mn form no local moment. This calibration is compared to others obtained with CMN powder and indium metal.
