- Abstract:
- The importance of mineral magnetism at the nanometre scale has recently been demonstrated in a number of groundbreaking studies, culminating in the development of the theory of 'lamellar magnetism'. The theory explains how rocks can acquire large-amplitude remanent magnetic anomalies which remain stable over billions of years. The solution to the problem lies in understanding the interaction between chemical and magnetic microstructures at the nanometre scale. Recent technological advances allow this problem to be tackled for the first time with the appropriate spatial resolution. This proposal demonstrates how the link between magnetism at the microscopic and macroscopic length scales can be established using a combined experimental and computational approach.
