Magnetic properties of single and multi‐domain magnetite under pressures from 0 to 6 GPa

Abstract: [1] Using novel experimental methods, we measured the acquisition of isothermal remanent magnetization, direct field demagnetization, and alternating field demagnetization of multi-domain (MD) and single domain (SD) magnetite under hydrostatic pressures to 6 GPa. We find that the saturation remanence of MD magnetite increases 2.8 times over initial, non-compressed values by 6 GPa, while its remanent coercivity remains relatively constant. For SD magnetite, remanent coercivity and saturation remanence vary litt… Show more

“…Similar irreversible changes in magnetic properties have been observed in magnetite under hydrostatic pressures up to 6 GPa [18] and in hematite powder subjected to shocks between 8-27 GPa [12]. We have several hypotheses which could explain these changes in pyrrhotite.…”

“…The break up of large, low-coercivity, pseudosingle domain and multidomain grains into many smaller single domain grains [18] should result in an increase in the bulk coercivity and saturation magnetization [14], which is consistent with changes in MDF and SIRM. However, we would also expect to see an increasing trend in the M rs /M s with pressure [15], which is not supported by our results.…”

“…Of the quantities shown in equation (7), m and r are known or are easily determined from a manufacturer's data sheet for magnetic nanoparticles. The magnetic moment can be found from the results of another study [9]. In this study, particles were subjected to different pressures and varying levels of magnetic fields, both direct and varying.…”

“…Experiments by McEnroe et al (2004) suggest that the lamellae may be stable at lower crustal temperatures and pressures. Increasing pressures also have an effect on the magnetic properties of single and multi-domain magnetite (Gilder et al 2004) and titanomagnetite (Gilder and Le Goff 2008). Both saturation remanent magnetization and coercivity increase markedly in titanomagnetites at typical lower crustal pressures.…”
