Abstract The present study was designed to explore the possibility of roadside pollution screening using magnetic properties of topsoil samples in Daejeon, South Korea. Low-field magnetic susceptibility, frequency dependence of magnetic susceptibility, susceptibility of anhysteretic remanent magnetization, isothermal remanent magnetization (IRM) acquisition and demagnetization, back-field IRM treatment, and thermal demagnetization of composite IRM were determined for roadside topsoil samples. Magnetic susceptibility measured on 238 samples from the upper 5 cm of the topsoils ranged from 8.6 to 82.5 × 10–5 SI with a mean of 28.3 ± 10.8 × 10–5 SI. The proximal zone, 55 m wide area situated on either side of the main street, exhibited an enhancement of magnetic susceptibility. In areas distant from the main street, low magnetic susceptibility (< 50 × 10–5 SI) was observed. The topsoil samples exhibited significant susceptibility contrasts, suggesting that two dimensional magnetic mapping was effective in identifying traffic-related pollution. A few magnetic hotspots with intensities of magnetic susceptibility near or over 50 × 10–5 SI might reflect the difference in topographic elevation and surface morphology. Among various IRM-related parameters, remanence of coercivity was most significant statistically. In most samples, IRM component analysis provided dual coercivity components. Thermal demagnetization of composite IRM and morphological observation of magnetic separates suggest angular magnetite produced by vehicle non-exhaust emissions spherical magnetite derived from exhaust emission to be the dominant contributors to the magnetic signal. It is likely that lower- and higher-coercivity components represent the presence of coarse-grained angular magnetite and fine-grained spherical magnetite, respectively.

Measurements of the magnetic properties, paleomagnetic field intensity, and the inferred paleomagnetic field polarity have been made using fine grained basalt and coarser grained rock samples dredged from the mid-Atlantic ridge near 45° N and supplied by the Geological Survey of Canada. The opaque mineralogy of the samples was studied by microscope, Curie point, and X-ray diffraction techniques. The natural remanent magnetization of the basalt is of the order of 5 to 10 × 10−3 e.m.u./cm3 with some values from the center of the median valley reaching 10−1 e.m.u./cm3. Magnetic anomalies over the ridge can be accounted for by the remanent magnetization of a few hundred meters of this basalt. The coarse grained rocks were relatively weakly magnetized, and while they contribute little to the magnetic anomalies, their diverse character suggests that the major portion of the oceanic crust, below a thin veneer of fine grained basalt, has differentiated into a complex structure.


The object of this research has been to find a connection between the magnetic susceptibility per unit mass (called the mass susceptibility) of different manganese steels and their chemical constitution. All measurements were made with the help of the magnetic balance of P. Curie and C. Chéneveau. In this instrument the body to be tested is attached to one arm of a torsion balance. A horseshoe magnet can be moved horizontally, so that the direction of motion is at right angles to the line joining the poles, and the body is gradually brought into a stronger and stronger field. The observed deflection of the torsion balance increases at first, then diminishes, and becomes zero when the body lies between the poles of the magnet. If the magnet be moved still further, a deflection in the opposite direction is observed, which again passes through a maximum at the point where the variation of the field of force is greatest. Fig. 1 illustrates the deflections observed in a particular case. The difference between the readings of the torsion balance when the deflections are greatest on either side is proportional to the mass susceptibility, so that this quantity may be determined by comparison with a specimen whose susceptibility is known. Throughout the paper the mass susceptibility is denoted by the symbol X .

The remanent magnetization, magnetic susceptibility and its anisotropy, as well as the Q factor of the samples of rocks, from the Zarechenskaya and Nikolskaya magnetic anomalies have been determined. These anomalies locate near the Selenginskaya depression on the eastern coast of Lake Baikal. Knowledge of the magnetic properties of rock massifs that are the sources of these anomalies is necessary to assess the magnetoelastic coefficients, which may be different for remanent and inductive magnetization. This, in turn, will make it possible to further increase the reliability of the interpretation of the results of tectomagnetic monitoring performed here.

Samples from DSDP Leg 37 holes 332B, 334, and 335 have been subjected to magnetic and microstructural investigation. A strong, stable remanent magnetization is observed, with the high Koenigsberger ratios that are characteristic of oceanic basalts. The remanence is generally carried by dendritic s ingle-domain and (or) pseudo-single-domain oxide grains, which are homogeneous. However, thermal demagnetization in air leads to the formation of magnetite–ilmenile intergrowths not detectable by optical microscopy but clearly visible in the electron microscope. Such ultra-fine phase splitting has often been invoked as an explanation of magnetic changes observed during laboratory heating.

The magnetic susceptibility measurements have been made on antiferromagnetic compounds Mn1–xFexSn2 and the magnetic phase diagram was illustrated. The high temperature magnetic phases I and III, major phases, were analyzed on the basis of molecular field theory and explained the change of magnetic structure I⇌III occured at x≈0.8.

We report on the synthesis and physical properties of cm-sized CoGeO3 single crystals grown in a high pressure mirror furnace at pressures of 80 bar. Direction dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements on our single crystals reveal highly anisotropic magnetic properties that we attribute to the impact of strong single ion anisotropy appearing in this system with TN∼33.5 K. Furthermore, we observe effective magnetic moments that are exceeding the spin only values of the Co ions, which reveals the presence of sizable orbital moments in CoGeO3.

We report the magnetic properties of EuxCa1-xB6 single crystals (0.756x1) studied in the wide range of temperatures (1.8-300 K) and magnetic fields (up to 50 kOe). It was found that low field magnetic susceptibility χ (T) follows the Curie-Weiss law χ~(T-Θp)-1 at high temperatures for all the concentrations studied. The effective magnetic moment of the Eu2+ ion estimated from the data diminishes from the free ion value μeff7.93μB (μB - Bohr magneton) for x=1 to μeff7.3μB for x=0.756. A universal behavior of magnetic susceptibility χ~(T-Θ)-α (α=1.5) is detected close to the Curie temperature TC in the paramagnetic state at both metallic (x>xC~0.8) and dielectric (xC.

Wang–Landau algorithm of Monte Carlo simulation is performed to understand the thermodynamic and magnetic properties of antiferromagnetic Ising model on honeycomb lattice. The internal energy, specific heat, free energy and entropy are calculated to present the thermodynamic behavior. For magnetic property, the magnetization and magnetic susceptibility are discussed at different temperature upon different magnetic field. The antiferromagnetic order is confirmed to be the ground state of the system, and it can be destroyed by a large magnetic field.
