A large, .distinct negative aeromagnetic anomaly of over 2000 nT associated with microcline-sillimanite-quartz gneisses in the Russell area, northwest Adirondack Mountains, was previously shown to be remanence-dominated, although the carriers of remanence were not well documented. Russell Belt gneisses have a strong natural remanent magnetization with steep remanence directions, D = 263 ø, I = ...

A classical action for open superstring field theory has been proposed which does not suffer from contact term problems. After generalizing this action to include the non-GSO projected states of the Neveu-Schwarz string, the pure tachyon contribution to the tachyon potential is explicitly computed. The potential has a minimum of V = −

Scene flow is defined as the motion field in 3D space, and can be computed from a single view when using an RGBD sensor. We propose a new scene flow approach that exploits the local and piecewise rigidity of real world scenes. By modeling the motion as a field of twists, our method encourages piecewise smooth solutions of rigid body motions. We give a general formulation to solve for local and ...

The temperature dependence of the saturation magnetization of Xe ion-beam sputtered Fe–Cr multilayers has been measured between 5 and 300 K in the presence of a field greater than the saturation field sHsatd. With the application of Hsat, the zero-field antiferromagnetically coupled ferromagnetic Fe layers are forced to align ferromagnetically. We find that the thermal demagnetization of such m...

Electrospraying has attracted the attention of many researchers, ranging from analytical chemists to physicists, not only because of the rich physics associated with it, but also due to its wide-ranging applicability. Therefore, considerable research has been devoted to exploring this interfacial phenomenon. However, there still are areas of electrospraying that have remained unexplored. Until ...

We investigate a recent controversy in ultrafast magnetization dynamics by comparing the demagnetization rates from two frequently used but competing descriptions for finite temperature magnetism, namely a rigid band structure Stoner-like approach and a system of localized spins. The calculations on the localized spin system show a demagnetization rate and time comparable to experimentally obta...

We investigate the effect of Ho, Dy, Tb, and Gd impurities on the femtosecond laser-induced magnetization dynamics of thin Permalloy films using the time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect. Varying the amount of Ho, Dy, Tb content from 0% to 8%, we observe a gradual change of the characteristic demagnetization time constant from approximately 60 to approximately 150 fs. In contrast, Gd concen...

The discovery of bacteria that precipitate greigite within intracellular organelles (magnetosomes) offers new evidence about the origin of greigite in natural environments. Unlike magnetite, only scarce information is available abo~t the. magnetic challl~ristics of greigite. For this reason, and the present inability to grow these microorg~~s ~ pure ~re, It u ~ot known .whether ~r not the magne...

Several regional secular variation curves of the geomagnetic field have been proposed for Mexico over last millennia. Despite a fairly large number archeomagnetic data, these remain imprecise because an uneven quality and geographic distribution, with lack data in Northern Mexico. Nine pottery kilns were sampled Casas de Fuego, archeological site Chihuahua state. These belong to Grandes culture...
