VSM measurement raw data

The dataset include csv-file exports of the hysteresis, IRM and backfield measurements conducted with the model 8604 Lakeshore VSM at the University of Cologne. The header in each file show measurement details. Please note: All hysteresis measurements are corrected for pole saturation by substracting the identically measured hysteresis of holmium oxide from the measurement data. Additionally, a fieldOffset correction was performed by the measurement program of Lake Shore, which may shift the hysteresis slightly along the X-axis. The weight of all samples is not correctly shown in the IRM-BF files but in the excel table "hysteresis parameters" in the folder "VSM measurement data analysed" of this data publication. The true volume of the samples remains unknown. If a (2) occurs behind the measurement, the first measurement was not successful and a second, identical one was performed using the same sample.
