Paleomagnetic and environmental magnetic studies are commonly conducted on samples
containing mixtures of magnetic minerals and/or grain sizes. Major hysteresis loops are …

In many geomagnetic, geological and environmental magnetic studies, it is important to
have reliable methods of characterizing the composition and grain size distribution of …

First‐order reversal curve (FORC) diagrams are constructed from a class of partial magnetic
hysteresis loops known as first‐order reversal curves and are used to understand …

Since their introduction in Earth sciences in 1990, first-order reversal curve (FORC)
measurements have become an important tool for characterizing geologic materials. The …

We have recently developed a technique for characterizing the magnetic components within
natural particle assemblages. This technique is based on the transformation of …

From experiments it is known that magnetostatic interactions between grains strongly affect
the magnetic hysteresis behaviour of samples, however, because of the difficulty in …

First‐order reversal curve (FORC) diagrams for mixtures of different magnetic phases and
bimodal distributions have been measured to examine the efficiency of the FORC method at …

Plots of the first‐order reversal curve (FORC) function are used to characterize ferromagnetic
particles in rocks. The function is based on classical Preisach theory, which represents …

The recently developed first-order reversal curve (FORC) technique for rapidly examining
magnetic domain state has great potential for paleomagnetic and environmental magnetic …

High‐resolution first‐order reversal curve (FORC) diagrams are being increasingly used in
rock and environmental magnetism, including for detection of biomagnetic signals in …
