The technique of cantilever magnetometry is shown to be functional in pulsed magnetic fields. Employing micromachined single crystal silicon cantilevers and capacitance detection, we demonstrated a utilizable sensitivity to magnetic moment of2.5×10−12 Am2in magnetic fields to 36 T, representing an improvement of more than a factor of 10 over competing technologies. Torque magnetization measurements on microcrystals of anisotropic superconductors are presented as evidence of the feasibility of the technique in long pulse magnets of pulse duration∼0.1–1 s.©1997 American Institute of Physics.
