Theory and application of the Day plot (Mrs/Ms versus Hcr/Hc) 1. Theoretical curves and tests using titanomagnetite data

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed the theory of the day plot parameters for MD, MD + SD, PSD, and SP + SD grains of titanomagnetite (Fe 3 × xTixO4) with compositions x = 0 (TM0 or magnetite) and x =0.6 (TM60).

First-order reversal curve diagrams: A new tool for characterizing the magnetic properties of natural samples

TL;DR: For example, first-order reversal curves (FORC) diagrams as mentioned in this paper can be used to identify and discriminate between the different components in a mixed magnetic mineral assemblage, such as superparamagnetic, single-domain, and multidomain grains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Partly pedogenic origin of magnetic variations in Chinese loess

TL;DR: The authors showed that palaeosols are characterized by much finer magnetic grain size assemblages than are the intervening loess units, which suggests that a simple model based on constant magnetic influx and dilution by variable amounts of non-magnetic loess is inadequate.

Wasp-waisted hysteresis loops: Mineral magnetic characteristics and discrimination of components in mixed magnetic systems

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for determining the magnetic components that can give rise to wasp-waisted hysteresis loops was proposed, based on high and low-temperature magnetic measurements that are used to identify the dominant remanence-bearing mineral/s and on mineral magnetic techniques used to discriminate between different magnetic domain states.

Magnetic Properties of Rocks and Minerals

TL;DR: In this article, an updated collation of magnetic parameters of rocks and minerals for geologists, geochemists, and geophysicists is presented, and best-fit equations have been provided for some of the displayed ata so that interpolations can be made easily.

Some theoretical aspects of rock-magnetism

Louis Néel
- 01 Apr 1955 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a brief theoretical study of the most typical magnetic properties of rocks is devoted to the magnetic viscosity due to thermal agitation in small grains and in larger ones.

Magnetization changes caused by burial and uplift

TL;DR: Theoretical blocking curves for hematite and magnetite are given over temperature ranges from room temperatures to Curie temperature and over time scales from 1 second to 109 years as mentioned in this paper.
