There are two types of mineralization in the Xinqiao: skarn-type and stratiform-type. The skarn-type mineralization is characterized by iron oxides such as magnetite and hematite, whereas stratiform-type mineralization is characterized by massive sulfides with small amounts of magnetite and hematite. We defined three types of ores within the strati- form-type mineralization by the mineral assemblages and ore structures. Type Ⅰ ore is represented by magnetite crosscut by minor calcite veins. Type Ⅱ is a network ore composed of magnetite and crosscutting pyrite. Type Ⅲ is a massive ore containing calcite and hematite. Type Ⅰ magnetite is characterized by highly variable trace element content, whereas Type Ⅱ magnetite has consistently higher Si, Ti, V, and Nb. Type Ⅲ magnetite contains more In, Sn, and As than the other two types. Fluid-rock interaction, oxygen fugacity (fO2), and temperature (T) are the main factors controlling element variation between the different magnetite types. Type I magnetite was formed by more extensive fluid-rock interaction than the other two types at moderate fO2 and T conditions. Type Ⅱ magnetite is thought to have formed in relatively low fO2 and high-Tenvironments, and Type Ⅲ in relatively high fOe and moderate-T environments. Ca + Al + Mn and Ti + V discrimination diagrams show that magnetite in the Xin qiao deposit is hydrothermal in origin and is possibly linked with skarn.展开更多

At the Habonim type section, the pedocomplex dated by archaeology and luminescence to 45-135 ka ago shows at least three paleosols, not separated by non-soil sediments. The oldest reddish paleosol (apparently related to MIS 5) is magnetically enhanced, leached from carbonates, with signs of bioturbation and strongly aged clay coatings. The reddening is due to very fine, -20 nm, poorly crystallized, superparamagnetic (SP) hematite, as determined by Mossbauer studies. In subsoil, lithorelics of eolianite are found. Over time, the soil surface aggraded due to accelerated fine dust accumulation alongside local slope wash. On younger materials formed magnetically depleted vertisols, dominated by smectite-type expandable paramagnetic clays. In thin sections, vertisols exhibit strong stipple-speckled and striated b-fabric due to shrink-swell processes, impregnative calcite nodules and Fe-Mn redistribution. The uppermost hydric vertisol shows the strongest expression of juxtaposed features of recurrent calcite and Fe precipitation. This paleosol developed on colluvial soil materials, as evidenced by mixing of clay coated and uncoated grains of quartz and calcite allochems. M6ssbauer spectra show high amounts of Fe(III) incorporated in the clay structure, low amounts of SP goethite and absence of SP hematite. Whilst magnetic susceptibility drops in vertisols to minimal values, increase. The latter along ferrimagnetie grain sizes with differences in the hierarchy of microfabric features is taken as indication for lithologic discontinuities which may have resulted from continuous, albeit variable and low-intensity, input of eolian clay from both remote Saharan and local sources, roughly dated to the earlier to middle part of the Last Glacial.展开更多

For small doping content, the transport property satisfies metal transport behavior below the transition tem- perature, and above the transition temperature it satisfies the small polaron model. This behavior can be explained by Fe3+ doping, which easily forms Fe3+-O2 -Mn4+channel, suppressing the double exchange Mn3+-O2 -Mn4+ channel and enhancing ? ? the spin scattering of Mn ions induced by antiferromagnetic clusters of Fe ions.展开更多

Either the shape or the size of the nanocrystals could be easily controlled. Both the phases and nanostructures have been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction patterns and electron microscopy. The magnetic and catalytic properties of these products were investigated and compared with each other. The obtained results clearly demonstrate that these iron oxide nanocrystals are soft ferromagnetic at room temperature and α-Fe2O3 has a more effective catalytic property on the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate than Fe3O4. Based on the experimental data, it is proposed that the magnetic and catalytic properties of these nanocrystals are dependent not only on the size and shape, but also on the surface structure of the nanocrystals. The nanoplates with significant anisotropic nanostructure demonstrate a highly enhanced performance as compared to nanoparticles.展开更多
