Michel-Lévy interference colour chart issued by Zeiss Microscopy. In optical mineralogy, an interference colour chart, also known as the Michel-Levy chart, is a tool first developed by Auguste Michel-Lévy to identify minerals in thin section using a petrographic microscope.
Hematite - titanomagnitite. Titanomagnetite is a mineral containing oxides of titanium and iron, with the formula Fe 2+ (Fe 3+,Ti) 2 O 4.It is also known as titaniferous magnetite, mogensenite, Ti-magnetite, or titanian magnetite. [1]
AFM diagram showing the relative proportions of the oxides of alkalis (A), iron (F), and magnesium (M), with arrows showing the compositional change path of the magmas in the tholeiitic and the calc-alkaline magma series (BT=tholeiitic basalt, FB=ferro-basalt, ABT=tholeiitic basaltic andesite, AT=tholeiitic andesite, D=dacite, R=rhyolite, B=basalt, AB=basaltic andesite, A=andesite; dashed line ...
A and B can also be the same metal with different valences, as is the case with magnetite, Fe 3 O 4 (as Fe 2+ Fe 3+ 2 O 2− 4), which is the most abundant member of the spinel group. [3] Spinels are grouped in series by the B cation. The group is named for spinel (MgAl 2 O 4), which was once known as "spinel ruby". [4] (Today the term ruby is ...
Magnetic 2D materials can be used as a part of van der Waals heterostructures. They are layered materials consisting of different 2D materials held together by van der Waals forces. One example of such structure is a thin insulating/semiconducting layer between layers of 2D magnetic material, producing a magnetic tunnel junction.
where p describes the magnetisation direction in the origin (p=1 (−1) for (=) = ()) and W is the winding number. Considering the same uniform magnetisation, i.e. the same p value, the winding number allows to define the skyrmion (()) with a positive winding number and the antiskyrmion (()) with a negative winding number and thus a topological charge opposite to the one of the skyrmion.
Gabbro specimen Photomicrograph of a thin section of gabbro. Gabbro (/ ˈ ɡ æ b r oʊ / GAB-roh) is a phaneritic (coarse-grained and magnesium- and iron-rich), mafic intrusive igneous rock formed from the slow cooling magma into a holocrystalline mass deep beneath the Earth's surface.
Magnetite has been important in understanding the conditions under which rocks form. Magnetite reacts with oxygen to produce hematite, and the mineral pair forms a buffer that can control how oxidizing its environment is (the oxygen fugacity). This buffer is known as the hematite-magnetite or HM buffer.
