A simple and novel torque magnetometer for the magnetic anisotropy measurements of magnetic thin‐film samples is described. A Brookfield LVTD viscometer, normally used in the viscosity measurements of liquids and fluids, is utilized as a torque measuring device. A HP series 310 computer along with the HP 7090 measurement plotting system interfaced to the torque magnetometer perform data acquisition, any calculations required for data correction, and plotting of the torque curves.
