Abstract

The magnetic behavior of some biotite samples, from volcanic rocks of W. Thrace area, N.E. Greece, was studied in the temperature range from 85 to 270°K and compared with the chemical composition. The magnetization of the samples depends linearly on the applied field, and the magnetic susceptibility obeys the Curie law, showing a typical paramagnetic behavior which is due to Fe2+, Fe3+ and Mn2+ The effective magnetic moment was calculated from the structural formulas of the samples and deviation from the experimental values is discussed.

Résumé

Le comportement magnétique d’échantillons de biotite provenant de roches volcaniques de l’ouest de la Thrace, au N.E. de la Grèce, a été étudié dans un domaine de températures allant de 85 à 270°K, et comparé à la composition chimique. La magnétisation des échantillons dépend linéairement du champ appliqué, et la susceptibilité magnétique suit la loi de Curie en montrant un comportement paramagnétique typique dû à Fe2+, Fe3+ et Mn2+. Le moment magnétique efficace est calculé à partir des formules structurales des échantillons et on discute de l’écart qu’il manifeste avec les valeurs expérimentales.

Kurzreferat

Das magnetische Verhalten einiger Biotitproben aus vulkanischem Gestein von Westthrazien in Nordostgriechenland wurde im Temperaturbereich von 85°K bis 270°K untersucht und zur chemischen Zusammensetzung in Beziehung gesetzt. Die Magnetisierung der Proben hängt linear vom angelegten Feld ab. Die magnetische Suszeptibilität gehorcht dem Curie-Gesetz und zeigt ein typisches paramagnetisches Verhalten, das auf Fe2+, Fe3+ und Mn2+ zurückzuführen ist. Das effektive magnetische Moment wurde aus der Strukturformel der Probe berechnet und die Abweichung von den experimentellen Werten diskutiert.

Резюме

Образцы изверженного вулканического биотита из Западной Фракии в Северовосточной Греции исследовались при температуре от 85°К до 270°К и анализировался их химический состав. Намагниченность образцов линейно зависит от приложенного поля, и их магнитная чувствительность подчиняется закону Кюри, проявляя типовое парамагнитное поведение, зависящее от Fе2+, Fе3+ и Мn2+. Эффективный магнитный момент высчитывался по структурной формуле образцов и обсуждались отклонения от экспериментального значения.
