Summary

The alternating-current susceptibility is the most used measurement for characterizing superconducting materials and is commonly performed using a two-phase lock-in amplifier. The article describes a different method to carry out this measurement, employing a two-channel dynamic analyser. This instrument also allows the authors to measure further quantities, such as higher harmonics of the alternating-current susceptibility, the so-called wide-band susceptibility and the magnetization loops. A remarkable feature of the dynamic analyser is its wide frequency range, from 244 microhertz to 102 kilohertz, allowing simple, comprehensive and reliable characterization of superconductors.
