Propiedades magnéticas de los cristales de magnetita recristalizados hidrotermalmente
Resumen
Las propiedades magnéticas de los cristales de magnetita no son inherentes, sino que se ven afectadas por el estrés y la adhesión de fragmentos en granos triturados. Los cristales recristalizados muestran tendencias de tamaño y fuerzas coercitivas siguiendo predicciones teóricas.
Área de la Ciencia:
- La geofísica es la geofísica.
- Ciencia de los materiales Ciencia de los materiales.

Sus antecedentes:
- Las propiedades de histeresis magnética de la magnetita difieren entre los granos precipitados y triturados.
- Esta discrepancia se atribuye al estado de tensión y fragmentos adheridos en magnetita triturada.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar las propiedades inherentes de histeresis magnética de la magnetita.
- Para determinar si las tendencias de tamaño en la magnetita precipitada continúan en cristales más grandes.

Principales resultados:
- Las tendencias de tamaño de las propiedades magnéticas en granos de submicrometro persisten hasta 1 milímetro en cristales recristalizados.
- Las fuerzas coercitivas siguen una ley de potencia a través de un amplio rango de tamaño (0,1 micrómetro a 1 milímetro).
- Las densidades de dislocación son similares en los cristales de magnetita cultivados hidrotermalmente y los naturales.
- Los parámetros de histeresis de los cristales sintéticos coinciden con los naturales, pero son más bajos que los de los granos triturados.

Ferromagnetism
Materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt consist of magnetic domains, within which the magnetic dipoles are arranged parallel to each other. The magnetic dipoles are rigidly aligned in the same direction within a domain by quantum mechanical coupling among the atoms. This coupling is so strong that even thermal agitation at room temperature cannot break it. The result is that each domain has a net dipole moment. However, some materials have weaker coupling, and are ferromagnetic at lower...
Paramagnetism
Paramagnets are materials with unpaired electrons that possess a finite magnetic moment. In the absence of a magnetic field, these moments are randomly oriented, and thus the net moment is zero. Under an external field, a torque acting on the moments tends to align them along the field's direction. However, the random thermal motion of electrons produces a torque opposite to the external field and tries to disorient the moments. These two competing effects align only a few moments along the...
Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability
In linear magnetic materials, like paramagnets and diamagnets, magnetization is proportional to the magnetic field intensity. The constant of proportionality, a dimensionless number, is called magnetic susceptibility. The value of the susceptibility depends on the type of material.
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...

Colors and Magnetism
Color in Coordination Complexes
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.

Diamagnetism
Materials consisting of paired electrons have zero net magnetic moments. However, when these materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Such materials are called diamagnets. Diamagnetism is the response of the diamagnets when placed in an external magnetic field.
Diamagnetism was discovered by Anton Brugmans in 1778 when he observed that bismuth gets repelled by magnetic fields, thus theorizing that diamagnets get repelled by magnets.

Other Unique Bacteria
Magnetic bacteria exhibit a directed movement called magnetotaxis, driven by structures called magnetosomes. These magnetosomes consist of chains of magnetic particles made of either magnetite (Fe₃O₄) or greigite (Fe₃S₄) and are organized in a linear conformation by a protein scaffold within invaginations of the cell membrane. The bacteria align along the north–south magnetic field lines, much like a compass needle. They are typically microaerophilic or anaerobic and are commonly found near the...
