Résumé
Rock Magnetism is a comprehensive treatment of fine
particle magnetism and the magnetic properties of rocks.
Starting from atomic magnetism and magnetostatic
principles, the authors explain why domains and
micromagnetic structures form in ferromagnetic crystals and
how these lead to magnetic memory in the form of thermal,
chemical and other remanent magnetizations. The phenomenal
stability of these magnetizations, providing a record of
plate tectonic motions over millions of years, is explained
by thermal activation theory. One chapter is devoted to
practical tests of domain state and paleomagnetic
stability; another deals with pseudo-single-domain
magnetism. The final four chapters place magnetism in the
context of igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic, and
extraterrestrial rocks. This book will be of great value to
graduate students and researchers in geophysics and
geology, particularly in paleomagnetism and rock magnetism,
as well as physicists and electrical engineers interested
in fine-particle magnetism and magnetic recording.
