Greigite (Fe 3 S 4 ) is an authigenic ferrimagnetic mineral that grows as a precursor to pyrite during early diagenetic sedimentary sulfate reduction. It can also grow at any time when dissolved iron and sulfide are available diagenesis. important in paleomagnetic, environmental, biological, biogeochemical, tectonic, industrial processes. Much recent progress has been made understanding its magnetic properties. inverse spinel collinear ferrimagnet with antiferromagnetic coupling between...

First‐order reversal curve (FORC) diagrams have become a standard tool in rock magnetism, yet magnetite is the only magnetic mineral that well characterized using FORC diagrams. We present for predominantly single‐domain (SD) synthetic aluminous hematite ( α ‐Fe 2‐x Al x O 3 ) and goethite ‐(FeAl)OOH) natural greigite (Fe S 4 pyrrhotite 7 8 to constrain interpretation of from samples. Hematite low spontaneous magnetizations negligible interactions, while higher can strong interactions. The...

Magnetic hysteresis measurements of sediments have resulted in widespread reporting “pseudo‐single‐domain”‐like magnetic properties. In contrast, the ideal single domain (SD) properties that would be expected to responsible for high quality paleomagnetic records are rare. Determining whether SD particles rare or common requires application techniques enable discrimination among different components a sediment. We apply range such and find much more than has been reported literature magnetite...

Single-cell resequencing (SCRS) provides many biomedical advances in variations detection at the single-cell level, but it currently relies on whole genome amplification (WGA). Three methods are commonly used for WGA: multiple displacement (MDA), degenerate-oligonucleotide-primed PCR (DOP-PCR) and annealing looping-based cycles (MALBAC). However, a comprehensive comparison of performance between these WGA has not yet been performed.We systematically compared advantages disadvantages...

Nearly one-quarter of all avian species is either threatened or nearly threatened. Of these, 73 are currently being rescued from going extinct in wildlife sanctuaries. One the previously most critically-endangered crested ibis, Nipponia nippon. Once widespread across North-East Asia, by 1981 only seven individuals two breeding pairs remained wild. The recovering ibis populations thus provide an excellent example for conservation genomics since every individual bird has been recruited genomic...

High-purity Fe3S4 (greigite) microcrystals with octahedral shape were synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method using surfactant. The as-prepared samples have the inverse spinel structure high crystallinity. saturation magnetization (Ms) reaches 3.74 μB at 5 K and 3.51 room temperature, which is larger than all reported values thus far. Electrical transport measurements show metallic behavior resistivity 40 times lower in any previous report. potential use of greigite as an anode...

Abstract Understanding marine environmental change and associated biological turnover across the Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM; ~56 Ma)—the most pronounced Cenozoic short-term global warming event—is important because of potential role ocean in atmospheric CO 2 drawdown, yet proxies for tracing productivity oxygenation PETM are limited results remain controversial. Here we show that a high-resolution record South Atlantic Ocean bottom water can be extracted from exceptionally...

Greigite (Fe3S4) is a widespread authigenic magnetic mineral in anoxic sediments and also commonly biosynthesized by magnetotactic bacteria aqueous environments. While the presence of fossilized bacterial magnetite (Fe3O4) has now been widely demonstrated, preservation greigite magnetofossils geological record only poorly constrained.

Abstract Magnetic mineral inclusions occur commonly within other larger phases in igneous rocks and have been demonstrated to preserve important paleomagnetic signals. While the usefulness of magnetic has explored extensively, their presence sediments only speculated upon. The contribution magnetization sediments, therefore, elusive. In this study, we use transmission electron microscope (TEM) methods demonstrate widespread preservation silicate‐hosted marine sedimentary settings. TEM...
