Measurement Capabilities

The electromagnetic Slingram method can provide three types of information simultaneously: (1) the apparent resistivity of the ground; (2) its apparent susceptibility; and (3) the characteristic signatures of buried metallic objects. To build an apparatus with these three measurement capabilities requires an appropriate choice of parameters, including frequency, coil separation, and coil orientation as well as calculations which take into account the electrical resistivity and the magnetic susceptibility of the ground. The value of the Slingram method for archaeological applications is shown by two examples: (1) a Gallo‐Roman pottery workshop investigated with measurements of the apparent susceptibility using a reduced sampling wide mesh grid technique; and (2) the study of a Bronze hoard site located in a marsh. Capabilities of the Slingram method may be improved by further study of an apparatus using several receivers which would increase the depth of investigation. Use of several frequencies would overcome difficulties related to resolving the magnetic quadrature susceptibility.

Magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity have been measured on UCuGa, UCu1+xSn1−x, (x=0 and 0.1), and UPdAl. The first two compounds, crystallizing in the hexagonal CaIn2-type structure, show at low temperatures an antiferromagnetic ordering probably with complex structures. UPdAl, which adopts the orthorhombic TiNiSi-type structure, was found to be a weakly temperature-dependent paramagnet down to 4.2 K.

AbstractA new member of the LnMIn5 family, ErCoIn5, has been synthesized by a flux-growth method. The structure of ErCoIn5 was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4/mmm, Z = 1, with lattice parameters a = 4.5400(4) and c = 7.3970(7) Å, and V = 152.46(2) Å3. Electrical resistivity data show metallic behavior. Magnetic susceptibility measurements show this compound to be antiferromagnetic with TN = 5.1 K. We compare these experimental results with those of LaCoIn5 in an effort to better understand the effect of the structural trends observed on the transport and magnetic properties.

<p>The Vulci archeological site was object of interest by the Soprintendenza ai beni culturali dell’Etruria meridionale (Italian government department responsible for southern Etruria’s cultural heritage) since the beginning of the 20th century. In 2001, the Ministero dei Beni Culturali (Italian ministry of cultural heritage) along with the local authorities, opened a natural-archeological park. In this area, it lies most of the ancient Etruscan city of Velch (today known by its Latin name, Vulci) including the Osteria Necropolis that is the object of this study. Recently, new archaeological excavations were made and the local authorities needed major geological information about the volcanic lithotypes where the Etruscans used to build their necropolis. The aim of this study is to define the geological and geophysical characteristics of the rock lithotypes present in the Vulci park. For this purpose, a geological map of the area (1:10000) has been realized. Moreover, two different geophysical methods were applied: measurements of magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity tomography. Magnetic susceptibility analyses clearly identify magnetic contrasts between different lithotypes; the characteristics of the pyroclastic flow that originated the Sorano unit 2 and its vertical facies variations are well recorded by this parameter that along with lithostratigraphic observations provides information about the depositional conditions. Two electrical resistivity tomographies were performed, which show the Sorano unit 2 thickness to be of c. 7 m with resistivity values ranging from 200 to 400 Ω·m. This kind of multidisciplinary approach resulted to be suitable to study this type of archaeological sites, revealing that areas characterized by a relevant thickness and wide areal extension of volcanic lithotypes can be a potential site where Etruscans might have excavated their necropolis.</p>

Samples of Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Ca2Cu3O10+δ superconductor were prepared by solid-state reaction method to study the effects of gold nanoparticles addition to the superconducting system, Nano-Au was introduced by small weight percentages (0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.0, and 1.25 weight %). Phase identification and microstructuralcharacterization of the samples were investigated using XRD and SEM. Moreover, DC electrical resistivity as a function of the temperature, critical current density Jc, AC magnetic susceptibility, and DC magnetization measurements were carried to evaluate the relative performance of samples. x-ray diffraction analysis showed that both (Bi,Pb)-2223 and Bi-2212 phases coexist in the samples having an orthorhombic crystal structure. Both the onset critical temperatures Tc (onset) and zero electrical resistivity critical temperatures Tc (R=0) of the samples were determined from the DC electrical resistivity measurements. An improvement of the superconducting transition temperature of 6.36 % was obtained with increasing Au nanoparticles to x = 1.25 wt.%, while the critical current density is improved by 220 %. AC magnetic susceptibility measurement showed that the diamagnetic fraction and intergranular coupling of the x = 1.25 wt.% sample are greater than those of the others. The variation of magnetization with temperature (M-T curve) of the samples was measured by cooling the sample in zero fields (ZFC) and an applied field of 10 Oe (FC). The results of AC magnetic susceptibility and DC magnetization measurements were in good agreement with DC electrical resistivity measurement.

AbstractDuring the 1973-74 Antarctic field season, two electrical resistivity profiles were completed along directions perpendicular to each other at a site in the south-easternpart of the Ross Ice Shelf. These profiles differ from each other only at short electrode spacings (less than 10 m) indicating no measurable horizontal anisotropy below the uppermost firn zone. The shape of the apparent resistivity curves is similar to that found by Hochstein on the Ross Ice Shelf near Roosevelt Island, but is displaced toward lower resistivities despite the colder 10 m temperature (—29°C instead of —26°C) at the more southerly site. Some factor other than temperature must therefore be effective in determining the overall magnitude of the resistivities in the shelf, although the variation with depth can still be expected to be primarily a temperature phenomenon.A computer program has been written to calculate apparent resistivities based on Crary’s analysis of temperatures in an ice shelf. Results are not yet available; when completed they should indicate the sensitivity of the resistivity measurements to differences in the temperature- depth profile, and hence their usefulness in estimating bottom melt/freeze rates.

Transient electromagnetic method is one of the geophysical prospecting methods to detect mine goaf. The paper analyzes the unique electrical characteristics of the stratum containing goaf. TEM inverts the apparent resistivity and delineates the mine goaf and determines water content by observing the pure secondary field. The method is sensitive to geologic bodies of low resistivity and has higher resolution. The paper takes some one mine in Shanxi as example to prove the practicability and effectiveness of TEM in production. It has certain reference significance in detecting mine goaf.
