Thermomagnetic analysis is performed by bringing subject materials into its cooled and heated state, followed by analyzing the magnetic moment change. Performing these would result in obtaining the Curie Temperature of the materials, which is essential in estimating magnetic minerals contained in material samples. PyTherNal (Python Thermomagnetic Analyzer) is a thermomagnetic analysis tool in Python environment meant to assist in analyzing thermomagnetic data. The advantages of Python in its functionality and flexibility of being used in any operating system (OS) became the main reason for the program to be written in Python. PyTherNal is designed to assist in estimating Curie temperature of materials through thermomagnetic method, by locating the maximum curvature of the highest value of second (2nd) derivative of both cooling and heating data. To facilitate these, PyTherNal generates three figures, which are the curves for the thermomagnetic data, its 1st derivative, and its 2nd derivative. An advantage of the program is that it performs smoothing to increase the accuracy in estimating the Curie temperature as doing so would significantly minimize the variability of the derivative curve. Since the program is written in Python, it is open-source and therefore free to use. It is also capable of cross-platforming.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
