This special section is focused on the impact of Kittel's theory of magnetic domains on rock
magnetism, and this paper is focused on the implications for paleointensity determinations …

Knowledge of palaeointensity variation is required for determining the full vector variation of
the geomagnetic field as a function of geological time. This provides essential constraints for …

A phenomenological theory of thermoremanent magnetization (TRM) is applied to model the
possible results of paleointensity determination experiments using the Thellier method. It is …

Three well‐characterized glass‐ceramic samples containing magnetite crystals of different
domain states have been given partial thermoremanent magnetizations (pTRMs) in the …

The global paleointensity database is restricted by the high failure rate of paleointensity
analyses. Excluding thermal alteration, failure is usually caused by the presence of …

The Thellier technique is the most commonly used method for absolute palaeointensity
studies. It is based on Thellier's laws stating that partial thermoremanent magnetisations …

A simple theory of thermoremanent magnetization (TRM) of magnetostatically interacting
single-domain grains is presented in this paper. In first approximation, small-field TRM is …

Coarse magnetite grains, of multidomain (MD) or large pseudo‐single‐domain (PSD) size
(≥ 10 μm approximately), cause nonlinearity and other problems in paleomagnetic field …

We report an experimental and theoretical study of non-linear Arai–Nagata diagrams for
samples containing pseudo-single-domain (PSD) and multidomain (MD) magnetite. Our aim …

The practical effect of cooling rate on the magnitude of thermal remanent magnetization
(TRM) is experimentally tested, using both natural and synthetic magnetites. For synthetic …
