High temperature stability of natural maghemite: a magnetic and spectroscopic study

Abstract: S U M M A R YA combined magneto-mineralogical approach is used to diagnose maghemitization in magnetic grains of basaltic rock fragments from sand dunes in the Namibian desert in SW Africa. Data were obtained from static magnetic analysis, ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectroscopy, micro-Raman spectroscopy and electron microscopy. Micro-Raman spectroscopy showed that the magnetic grains in the lithic fragments form oxidative solid solution series with magnetite and maghemite as end-members. The five active Ra… Show more

“…As the temperature decreases, the corresponding g eff value and linewidth increase, reaching maximum values 77 K, with an overall reduction of the intensity. A similar trend with temperature was ascribed to dispersed and randomly oriented iron oxides magnetite-maghemite (Fe 3 O 4 , c-Fe 2 O 3 ) nanoparticles [29,30].…”

“…Continued cycling of samples from the first type shows in the second run drop of MS at ∼ 620 • C. On the third run the temperature has increased to 650 • C. If this is indicative of a Curie temperature (630-650 • C), it is lower than that of hematite and closer to that of maghemite (Özdemir, 1990;Gehring et al, 2009). According to J rs /J s and B cr /B c ratios pseudo-single-domain particles were formed during the first heating (Day et al, 1977).…”

“…Segundo Dunlop e Özdemir (1997), a transição de Verwey e Curie ocorre na magnetita a -153 e 580°C e, na hematita, a -15 e 680°C. A maghemita possui temperaturas A granulação é variável, de muito fina a média (< 0,01 a 1,20 mm), e as curvas termomagnéticas de 10 amostras de FFB mostram que são desmagnetizados em torno de 620 e -138°C (Figuras 4C e D), indicando o mineral maghemita (Gehring et al, 2009). Localmente, em análi-ses de lâminas delgadas polidas, foi observada a presença de relictos de magnetita, que se distingue da maghemita pela cor cinza escura ou ocorrendo como cristais subédri-cos a euédricos (Figura 4E).…”
