Background:

  • Torque magnetometry is crucial for characterizing magnetic properties of materials.
  • Piezoresistive atomic force microscope (AFM) tips are established torque sensors but lack simultaneous two-axis measurement capability without compromising sensitivity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a new piezoresistive sensor design for torque magnetometry.
  • To enable simultaneous measurement of torque along two perpendicular directions.
  • To enhance the versatility of torque magnetometry sensors.

Main Methods:

  • Designed a fundamentally new piezoresistive sensor with a symmetric arrangement of sensor legs.
  • Implemented separate readout circuits for concurrent two-axis measurements.
