Low-temperature magnetic properties of greigite (Fe3S4)
[1] We provide comprehensive low-temperature magnetic results for greigite (Fe3S4) across the spectrum from superparamagnetic (SP) to multidomain (MD) behavior. It is well known that greigite has no lowtemperature magnetic transitions, but we also document that it has strong domain-state dependence of magnetic properties at low temperatures. Blocking of SP grains and increasing thermal stabilit...
متن کاملMagnetic Domain State and Coercivity Predictions for Biogenic Greigite (Fe3S4): A Comparison of Theory With Magnetosome Observations
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...
متن کاملMagnetic structure of greigite (Fe3S4) probed by neutron powder diffraction and polarized neutron diffraction
[1] We have investigated greigite (Fe3S4) using a combination of neutron powder diffraction and polarized neutron diffraction to give the first unambiguous assignment of its magnetic structure. Our results confirm that greigite has a collinear ferrimagnetic structure with antiferromagnetic coupling between the tetrahedral (A) and octahedral (B) sites. Our analysis also indicates that greigite d...
متن کاملDemagnetization Treatment of Remanent Composite Microspheres Studied by Alternating Current Susceptibility Measurements
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 ...
متن کاملMagnetite dissolution, diachronous greigite formation, and secondary magnetizations from pyrite oxidation: Unravelling complex magnetizations in Neogene marine sediments from New Zealand
Detailed rock magnetic and electron microscope analyses indicate that the magnetic signature of Neogene marine sediments from the east coast of New Zealand is dominated by the authigenic iron sulphide greigite. The greigite is present as a mixed population of stable single domain and superparamagnetic grains, which is consistent with authigenic growth from solution. This growth can result from ...
