[1] We developed a paleointensity technique to account for concave-up Arai diagrams due to multidomain (MD) contributions to determine unbiased paleointensities for 24 trial samples from site GA-X in Pleistocene lavas from Floreana Island, Galapagos Archipelago. The main magnetization carrier is fine-grained low-titanium magnetite of variable grain size. We used a comprehensive back-zero-forth ...

[1] Mars today has no core dynamo magnetic field. However, the discovery of remanent magnetization in Martian meteorites and intense crustal magnetization suggests that Mars once had a global field. Here we present high resolution maps of the magnetic field of Martian meteorite ALH 84001. These maps are the most sensitive yet quantitative study of natural remanent magnetization (with resolved a...

A computer calculation technique of Lorentz microscopy image was developed and was applied to the analysis of the Lorentz microscopy image and magnetic domain structure of a weakly ordered FePt:C thin film for recording media. The magnetic domain structure was, at the as-deposited random state, a vortex network structure and evolved into the islandlike elongated reverse domain structure at the ...

Magnetic nanorods or nanowires exhibit degrees of freedom associated with their inherent shape anisotropy and the ability to incorporate different components along their length. The introduction of multiple segments along the length of a nanowire can lead to further degrees of freedom associated with the shape of each segment and the coupling between layers. In this paper, we present an overvie...

Using the zero-temperature Metropolis dynamics the time decay of the remanent magnetization in the ±J Edward-Anderson spin glass model with a uniform random distribution of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions has been investigated. Starting from the saturation the magnetization per spin m reveals a slow decrease with time which can be approximated by a power law: m(t) = m ∞ + t a 0...

Using the zero-temperature Metropolis dynamics, the time decay of the remanent magnetization in the +/-J Edward-Anderson spin glass model with a uniform random distribution of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions has been investigated. Starting from the saturation, the magnetization per spin m reveals a slow decrease with time, which can be approximated by a power law: m(t)=m(infini...

The magnetometer investigation aboard the NEAR-Shoemaker spacecraft has obtained extensive magnetic field observations throughout the 433 Eros environment, from distances in excess of 100,000 km to those conducted after landing on 12 February 2001. We report the apparent absence of global scale magnetization at this asteroid (H < 0.005 A · m−1; natural remanent magnetization per kilogram < 1.9 ...

In this paper, we discuss the influence of the selfdemagnetization effect on magnetic data and present an alternative means of quantitatively interpreting such data in highly magnetic environments. In particular, we present two important results based on simulation which one might consider in their interpretation of magnetic data when selfdemagnetization is present. First, current methods for e...

We present an experimental realization of a magnetic two-dimensional XY system using amorphous materials. The classification of the dimensionality is based on the critical behavior of amorphous Co68Fe24Zr8(d)/Al70O30 (20Å) multilayers, where d = 11 − 16Å. Analysis of the remanent magnetization, the magnetic isotherms, the initial susceptibility, and the magnetic correlation length shows that th...
