Coercive force of single crystals of magnetite at low temperatures

The temperature dependence of coercive force H _c was studied on well-characterized and stoichiometric millimetre-sized single crystals of magnetite at a series of 16 temperatures from 300 to 10 K using a SQUID magnetometer. H _c decreases gradually with cooling to the isotropic temperature, T _i = 130 K, where the first magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant K ₁ becomes zero. H _c exhibits a sharp increase at the Verwey transition, T _v = 120 K, where the structure changes from cubic to monoclinic. In crossing the Verwey transition, H _c increases by more than two orders of magnitude, from 20 μT to 2.4 mT, and the shape of the hysteresis loops becomes wasp-waisted.
Observed coercivity between 300 K and 170 K varies with temperature as λ _s / M _s , where λ _s is the magnetostriction constant and M _s is the saturation magnetization, indicating that the coercivity in MD magnetite is controlled mainly by internal stress associated with dislocations or other crystal defects. It seems likely that the stable single-domain-like magnetic memory observed in large MD magnetite crystals is due to magnetoelastically pinned domain walls. The discontinuous change in H _c at the Verwey transition is controlled by abrupt changes in magnetocrystalline and magnetostriction constants due to crystal deformation from cubic to monoclinic structure.     

Electrical conductivity and crustal structure beneath the central Hellenides around the Gulf of Corinth (Greece) and their relationship with the seismotectonics

A deep magnetotelluric sounding (MTS) investigation in the western part of the Gulf of Corinth has revealed a complex electrical image of the crustal structure. The geotectonic structure of the Parnassos unit and the Transition zone in the central Hellenides, overthrusting the Pindos zone both towards the west and towards the south, has been clearly identified by its higher resistivity and its intrinsic anisotropy related to the N–S strike of the Hellenides range. Subsequent N–S extension of the Gulf introduced another heterogeneous anisotropy characteristic that corresponds to E–W-trending normal faults on both sides of the Gulf. The 2-D modelling of the MTS results reveals the existence of a relatively conductive layer about 4 km thick at a depth greater than 10 km in the middle crust. It corresponds to a ductile detachment zone suggested by microseismic and seismic studies ( King et al . 1985 ; Rigo et al . 1996 ; Bernard et al . 1997a ). It may be attributed to the phyllite series lying between the allochthonous Hellenic nappes and the autochthonous Plattenkalk basement. Towards the east, under the Pangalos peninsula, approaching the internal Hellenides, the detachment zone could root deeply into the lower crust.
Some strong local electrical anomalies are observed, reaching the conductive layer in the middle crust, such as that under the Mamousia fault and under the front of the overthrust of the Transition zone on the Pindos zone. Other anomalies affect only the shallower zones such as that beneath the Helike fault and in the Psaromita peninsula. These shallower anomalies provide complementary information to the study of spatial and temporal variations of the seismic anisotropy in relation to the short- and long-term tectonic activity of the Gulf ( Bouin et al . 1996 ; Gamar et al . 1999 ).

煤层气储层物性预测的AVO技术对地震纵波资料品质要求的探讨

煤层的含气性及渗透性可以利用纵波AVO技术及基于各向异性理论的方位AVO技术进行研究.煤层气属于吸附气,储层厚度较薄,地震异常响应较弱,对地震资料的品质及其携带的信息量提出了更高的要求.本文对AVO与方位AVO反演理论的近似条件及模型试算结果进行了分析,提出了对地震纵波数据信噪比、入射角、偏移距分布及方位角分布等参数的要求:1.观测系统设计及野外采集时应保证地震波的有效入射角在0.～30.或更大范围内,偏移距应大中小均匀分布,避免过于集中或缺失.2.地震数据应有足够宽分布的方位角,煤层气地震勘探中应选择宽方位观测系统.3、地震资料信噪比应足够高.     

VTI介质中的弹性阻抗与参数提取

弹性阻抗是波阻抗的扩展,可以更好的反映储层和流体性质.常规弹性阻抗方程忽略了各向异性的影响,不能正确地描述各向异性介质中弹性阻抗的性质.本文基于Ruger给出的VTI介质反射系数近似公式,结合Connolly推导弹性阻抗的思想,推导出了一种VTI介质中的弹性阻抗方程.通过引入归一化常数,对方程进行了标准化,消除了方程量纲随角度变化而变化的不足.结合常规弹性阻抗反演的流程,得出了VTI介质中弹性阻抗反演的流程.最后,开展了从VTI介质弹性阻抗数据体中提取岩石物性参数的方法研究.数值测试表明,所讨论的参数提取方法具有一定的理论和应用价值.
