[1] In clay-rich sediment, microstructures and macrostructures influence how sediments deform when under stress. When lithology is fairly constant, anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) can be a simple technique for measuring the relative consolidation state of sediment, which reflects the sediment burial history. AMS can reveal areas of high water content and apparent overconsolidation a...

The magnetic remanence of silica microspheres with a low concentration of embedded cobalt ferrite nanoparticles is studied after demagnetization and remagnetization treatments. When the microspheres are dispersed in a liquid, alternating current (AC) magnetic susceptibility spectra reveal a constant characteristic frequency, corresponding to the rotational diffusion of the microparticles; this ...

A new method of obtaining physical information about a system of fme fenite powder, from the hysteresis experienced by a ferromagnetic core as it dissipates energy in an RLC circuit is presented. The models of the magnetization processes are classified in three categories: physical, phenomenological and mixed. Hodgdon developed a purely mathematical model that was tested on magnetization proces...
