The local magnetization profile along the length in magnetostrictive Fe-based magnetic microwires has been determined by magneto-optical Kerr effect. The study has been performed in microwires with different geometrical dimensions (i.e., diameter and length). The profiles of remanent magnetization and coercivity remain constant at the middle part for all microwires, whereas significant reductio...

Although the source layer for marine magnetic anomalies has been assumed to be the extrusive basalts of uppermost ocean crust, recent studies indicate that lower crustal rocks may also contribute. Because the temperature at which magnetization of crustal rocks achieves long-term stability is crucial to any source layer contribution, we undertook hightemperature VRM (viscous remanent magnetizati...

In order to establish the magnetic carriers and assess the reliability of previous paleomagnetic results obtained for Eocene marine marls from the south Pyrenean basin, we carried out a combined paleoand rock-magnetic study of the Pamplona-Arguis Formation, which crops out in the western sector of the southern Pyrenees (N Spain). The unblocking temperatures suggest that the characteristic reman...

Magnetopneumography is the study of the remanent magnetism of foreign intrathoracic ferromagnetic particles after magnetization by an external magnetic field. Given knowledge of the magnetic characteristics of the inhaled particles, this highly sensitive and non-invasive technique allows the measurement of lung dust loads. Many groups of workers have been examined in this way, e.g. welders, coa...

BiFeO3 and PbTiO3 were introduced to a Sc-modified Pb(Fe2/3W1/3)O3 compound with strong cation order to improve the multiferroic properties. It is found that the degree of cation order decreases as the amount of BiFeO3 or PbTiO3 increases. As a result, the saturation magnetization deteriorates. Solid solutions with BiFeO3 show an increase in both ferroelectric and magnetic transition temperatur...

Hydrogels that are pH-sensitive and partially cross-linked by cobalt ferrite nanoparticles exhibit remarkable remanent magnetization behavior. The magnetic fields measured outside our thin disks of ferrogel are weak, but in the steady state, the field dependence on the magnetic content of the gels and the measurement geometry is as expected from theory. In contrast, the time-dependent behavior ...
