A description is given of a superconducting quantum magnetometer for the range 1-200/sup 0/K. The receiving coil in the lead superconducting flux transformer is thermally insulated from the heated specimen by a high-vacuum gap. The temperature of the specimen is controlled by a manganin wire heater, while that of the magnetometric part of the instrument is kept at about 2/sup 0/K. This method of varying the specimen temperture enables one to measure the part of the magnetic moment of the specimen that is nonlinearly dependent on the field and temperature, and also to measure the field-independent part of the susceptibility as a function of temperature with a sensitivity in the magnetometer of about 10/sup -17/ Wb.
