The design of an excitation coil for magnetic particles spectrometer (MPS) was described. It was assumed that the spectrometer should measure the spectra of particles of diameter in the range 10-100 nm. To measure the amplitude and phase angle spectra of magnetic nanoparticles it is required to generate sinusoidal alternating spatially homogeneous magnetic field of magnitude of 20 mT. The work volume...
