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 …

The magnetic domain state of a material determines its magnetic recording capability and
magnetic properties. Constraining the domain state of magnetic components within …

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

Abstract The “Day” diagram (Day et al., 1977, https://doi. org/10.1016/0031-9201 (77) 90108-
X) is used widely to make inferences about the domain state of magnetic mineral …

Natural sediments are a complex mixture of magnetic minerals with different origins and
different geochemical history, each of which is called a magnetic component. Magnetic …

Curie point temperatures (TC) of natural and synthetic magnetic materials are commonly
determined in rock magnetism by several measurement methods that can be mutually …

Hysteresis measurements have become an important part of characterizing magnetic
behavior of rocks in paleomagnetic studies. Theoretical interpretation is often difficult owing …

First-order reversal curve (FORC) diagrams provide a sensitive means of probing subtle
variations in hysteresis behaviour, and can help advance our understanding of the …

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

A wide variety of Earth and planetary materials are very good recorders of paleomagnetic
information. However, most magnetic grains in these materials are not in the stable single …
