Stability of magnetic remanence in multidomain magnetite

Abstract:: If a rock is to retain a geologically meaningful magnetic record of its history, it is essential that it contains magnetic minerals which are capable of carrying stable magnetic remanence. Of the natural occurring magnetic minerals, magnetite is the most important because of its abundance and strong magnetic signature. The stability, i.e., the resistance to demagnetisation or reorientation, of magnetic remanence is related to grain size; in smaller grains the magnetic moments align to have...
