Laboratory experiments aimed at understanding the changes in magnetic properties of a sulfidic clay during its oxidation are described. Samples of a sulfidic clay from an acid sulfate soil were slowly oxidized and their magnetic susceptibility (χ) and remanence properties (ARM and SIRM) were measured over a 28 week period. Magnetic properties were measured for the undried material and for subsamples which had been dried by rapid air-drying or by extraction of water with dioxane. Magnetic susceptibility decreased during the first 12 weeks of oxidation and then increased. Samples dried in dioxane showed similar values to the undried material, but air drying caused decreases in χ in samples taken up to 7 weeks of oxidation. Thereafter, there was no effect of drying on χ. In contrast to susceptibility, the remanence properties decreased throughout the experiment, to 8% of their initial values. The results were interpreted in terms of rapid chemical oxidation of a labile magnetic compound (possibly greigite) during the early stages of oxidation and by air drying, and the biological oxidation of pyrite during later stages of oxidation. Associated with these reactions was the formation of a paramagnetic compound, probably ferrihydrite. The effects of changes in iron mineralogy during 28 weeks of oxidation on χ are shown schematically.

Rumput laut (Gracilaria verrucosa) telah dibudidayakan di tambak tanah sulfat masam dengan kualitas dan kuantitas produksi yang relatif tinggi. Oleh karena itu, dilakukan penelitian yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui peubah kualitas air yang mempengaruhi laju pertumbuhan rumput laut di tambak tanah sulfat masam Kecamatan Angkona Kabupaten Luwu Timur Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan. Pemeliharaan rumput laut dilakukan di 30 petak tambak  terpilih selama 6 minggu. Bibit rumput laut dengan bobot 100 g basah ditebar dalam hapa berukuran 1,0 m x 1,0 m x 1,2 m. Peubah tidak bebas yang diamati adalah laju pertumbuhan relatif, sedangkan peubah bebas adalah peubah kualitas air yang meliputi: intensitas cahaya, salinitas, suhu, pH, karbondioksida, nitrat, amonium, fosfat, dan besi. Analisis regresi berganda digunakan untuk menentukan peubah bebas yang dapat digunakan untuk memprediksi peubah tidak bebas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa laju pertumbuhan relatif rumput laut di tambak tanah sulfat masam berkisar antara 1,52% dan 3,63%/hari dengan rata-rata 2,88% ± 0,56%/hari. Di antara 9 peubah kualitas air yang diamati ternyata hanya 5 peubah kualitas air yaitu: nitrat, salinitas, amonium, besi, dan fosfat yang mempengaruhi pertumbuhan rumput laut secara nyata. Untuk meningkatkan pertumbuhan rumput laut di tambak tanah sulfat masam Kecamatan Angkona Kabupaten Luwu Timur dapat dilakukan dengan pemberian pupuk yang mengandung nitrogen untuk meningkatkan kandungan amonium dan nitrat serta pemberian pupuk yang mengandung fosfor untuk meningkatkan kandungan fosfat sampai pada nilai tertentu, melakukan remediasi untuk menurunkan kandungan besi serta memelihara rumput laut pada salinitas air yang lebih tinggi, tetapi tidak melebihi 30 ppt.Seaweed (Gracilaria verrucosa) has been cultivated in acid sulfate soil-affected ponds with relatively high quality and quantity of seaweed production. A research has been conducted to study water quality variables that influence the growth of seaweed in acid sulfate soil-affected ponds of Angkona Sub-district East Luwu Regency South Sulawesi Province. Cultivation of seaweed was done for six weeks in 30 selected brackishwater ponds. Seeds of seaweed with weight of 100 g were stocked in hapa sized 1.0 m x 1.0 m x 1.2 m. Dependent variable that was observed was specific growth rate, whereas independent variables were water quality variables including light intensity, salinity, temperature, pH, carbondioxide, nitrate, ammonium, phosphate, and iron. Analyses of multiple regressions were used to determine the independent variables which could be used to predict the dependent variable. Research result indicated that relative growth rate of seaweed in acid sulfate soils-affected brackishwater ponds ranged from 1.52% to 3.63%/day with 2.88% ± 0.56%/day in average. Among nine observed water quality variables, only five variables namely: nitrate, salinity, ammonium, phosphate and iron influence significantly on the growth of seaweed in acid sulfate soils-affected brackishwater ponds. The growth of seaweed in acid sulfate soils-affected brackishwater ponds of Angkona District East Luwu Regency, can be improved by using nitrogen-based fertilizers to increase ammonium and nitrate contents and also fertilizers which contain phosphorus to improve phosphate content to a certain level. Pond remediation to decrease iron content and also rearing seaweed at higher salinity (but less than 30 ppt) can also be alternatives to increase the growth of seaweed.

The magnetic susceptibility measurements have been made on antiferromagnetic compounds Mn1–xFexSn2 and the magnetic phase diagram was illustrated. The high temperature magnetic phases I and III, major phases, were analyzed on the basis of molecular field theory and explained the change of magnetic structure I⇌III occured at x≈0.8.

We report on the synthesis and physical properties of cm-sized CoGeO3 single crystals grown in a high pressure mirror furnace at pressures of 80 bar. Direction dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements on our single crystals reveal highly anisotropic magnetic properties that we attribute to the impact of strong single ion anisotropy appearing in this system with TN∼33.5 K. Furthermore, we observe effective magnetic moments that are exceeding the spin only values of the Co ions, which reveals the presence of sizable orbital moments in CoGeO3.

We report the magnetic properties of EuxCa1-xB6 single crystals (0.756x1) studied in the wide range of temperatures (1.8-300 K) and magnetic fields (up to 50 kOe). It was found that low field magnetic susceptibility χ (T) follows the Curie-Weiss law χ~(T-Θp)-1 at high temperatures for all the concentrations studied. The effective magnetic moment of the Eu2+ ion estimated from the data diminishes from the free ion value μeff7.93μB (μB - Bohr magneton) for x=1 to μeff7.3μB for x=0.756. A universal behavior of magnetic susceptibility χ~(T-Θ)-α (α=1.5) is detected close to the Curie temperature TC in the paramagnetic state at both metallic (x>xC~0.8) and dielectric (xC.

AbstractMagnetic susceptibility data (300–520 K) of monomeric and dimeric mesogenic copper(II) compounds are presented. Different magnetic effects arising from the paramagnetic Cu(II)-centres and the diamagnetic anisotropy of the mesogenic groups are observed and discussed with respect to possible inter molecular interactions.

Wang–Landau algorithm of Monte Carlo simulation is performed to understand the thermodynamic and magnetic properties of antiferromagnetic Ising model on honeycomb lattice. The internal energy, specific heat, free energy and entropy are calculated to present the thermodynamic behavior. For magnetic property, the magnetization and magnetic susceptibility are discussed at different temperature upon different magnetic field. The antiferromagnetic order is confirmed to be the ground state of the system, and it can be destroyed by a large magnetic field.

Results of magnetization and magnetic susceptibility measurements on undoped and Co-doped FeSi2.5 single crystals are presented. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of the Co-doped sample in the range of 5–300 K can be explained by temperature-dependent contributions due to paramagnetic centers and the carriers excited thermally in the extrinsic conductivity region. The values of the paramagnetic Curie temperature and activation energy of the donor levels were estimated. It is also shown that the magnetic susceptibility of Co-doped samples cooled in zero external field and in a field are different. This resembles the properties of spin-glasses and indicates the presence of coupling between magnetic centers.
