Magnetic hysteresis of mixtures of hematite (a-Fe2O3) and magnetite (Fe304) particles dispersed in diamagnetic NaCl are examined. Introducing a residual hysteresis curve it is shown that the overall hysteresis loop of bi-mineral mixture does not represent a simple s u m of contributions corresponding to individual components, but is affected by interactions between magnetite and hematite grains.
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.
