Remanent magnetization, magnetic coupling, and interface ionic configurations of intergrown rhombohedral and cubic Fe-Ti oxides: A short survey
Abstract
Some intergrowths between rhombohedral and cubic Fe-Ti oxides show properties of high remanence and stability, greater than can be explained solely by properties of the individual phases. Magnetic experiments demonstrate magnetic coupling across the interfaces between these phases. These have similarities to intergrowths solely of rhombohedral oxides with the properties of lamellar magnetism. Long-known studies indicate the common interface is along (111) octahedral planes of the cubic phase and (001) of the rhombohedral phase. This is confirmed in new TEM results on a synthetic titano-hematite and on a natural ferri-ilmenite, both with reduction-exsolution lamellae of magnetite, where high-resolution lattice-fringe images demonstrate a common orientation of Fe octahedra along the interface. Such information provides a starting point to investigate atomic configurations, ionic charge imbalance, and magnetic moments along these interfaces, and leads toward a new application of the theory of lamellar magnetism.
Acknowledgments
Our long-term collaborator Phil Schmidt called our attention to the Peculiar Knob, Black Hill Norite, and Harcus natural samples that are related to unusual magnetic anomalies. The synthetic ilmenite 40 sample was synthesized by Ben Burton (1982), at the time not realizing that a very small “mistake” in experimental oxygen fugacity created the minute magnetite lamellae, only discovered decades later by magnetic experiments, and TEM, and providing a vital key to lattice orientation across the phase interface. The image in Figure 1 was provided by Gurli Meyer. Tiziana Boffa Ballaran, Bayerisches Geoinstitut, provided key lattice parameters by high-resolution X-ray diffraction of the synthetic sample. This research was supported by NFR Grant 222666 to McEnroe. The Institute for Rock Magnetism, University of Minnesota, provided instrument access. To each of these persons and institutions, we express our grateful acknowledgment.
