Abstract
We consider various methods and techniques for measuring electron magnetization and susceptibility, which are used in experimental condensed matter physics. The list of considered methods for macroscopic measurements includes magnetomechanic, electromagnetic, modulation-type, and also thermodynamic methods based on the chemical potential variation. We also consider local methods of magnetic measurements based on the spin Hall effects and NV-centers. Several scanning probe magnetometers-microscopes are considered, such as magnetic resonance force microscope, SQUID-microscope, and Hall microscope. The review focuses on the spin magnetization measurements of electrons in non-magnetic materials and artificial systems, particularly, in low-dimensional electron systems in semiconductors and in nanosystems, which came to the forefront in recent years.
