Technical Notes and
Scientific Papers - Magnetometers in Action
Magnetometer
technology continues to evolve - reflecting, in part, GEM's contribution
to R&D and its specialized focus on quantum magnetometers. Many
of these evolutionary methods and technologies are incorporated
in our products and made available to our customers on a regular
basis.
This page provides
a summary of some of Gem's work and may provide you with additional
tools for understanding the principles of quantum magnetometers
and applications to real-world earth science challenges.
As well, we
regularly add technical papers that relate to specific questions
from our customers. If you would like to request that we add a technical
note on a particular topic, please feel free to contact us.
Papers Related to
Proton Precession and Overhauser Magnetometers
Overhauser effect
magnetometers were initially commercialized by GEM in the mid-1980s
and have advanced since then through various R&D initiatives.
The following papers summarize some of the theory and developments
in this area.
Papers Related to
Potassium Magnetometers
Another class
of magnetometer (in addition to conventional and Overhauser effect
proton precession magnetometers) are those that utilize electron
resonance principles.
Commonly called
optically pumped magnetometers, these systems utilize alkali metal
vapour to generate precessions based on the Zeeman effect.
