Paramagnetic properties of Cuban red mud at low temperatures
Journal Title: Geology, Geophysics & Environment - Year 2018, Vol 44, Issue 4
Abstract
The electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra of Cuban red mud have been measured at three different temperatures: 295 K, 150 K and 77 K. The broad absorption line with resonance fields ∼(1.7–1.8) kOe was observed at all temperatures with values of g-factor from 3.602 to 4.020. The temperature decrease resulted in an absorption line appearance with resonance fields of 3.252 kOe (g = 2.067) at 150 K and 3.339 kOe (g = 2.086) at 77 K. The ESR-signal amplitude with resonance fields ∼(1.7–1.8) kOe decreases and the ESR-signal amplitude in the field ∼3.3 kОе increases with reduction in temperature.

Modern measuring equipment is sometimes used for applications, for which it has not been originally designed. For example Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), designed for subsurface structures analysis, can be used for tree...
An analysis of solar energy conversion systems based on photon and thermal processes
Solar spectral irradiance covers a fairly broad wavelength range. Solar radiation is part of the electromagnetic spectrum which is described by the concept of wave-particle duality. The corpuscular theory of electromagne...
Hydrogeochemical characteristic of thermal waters in Bańska Niżna
Thermal waters are one of the greatest treasures of the Podhale. They are used not only in heat engineering but also in recreation, medicine and rehabilitation (Kępińska, 2004, 2009; Tomaszewska, 2009). It is also known...
The content and composition of organic matter in bottom sediments of the Rybnik reservoir – preliminary studies
Organic matter has important influences on the fate of environmental pollution in water dam reservoirs. The aim of the studies was to assess content of organic matter fractions in Rybnik reservoir bottom sediments, and t...
What can be learned about the deposition and compaction of peat from the Miocene lignite seam exposed in the Chłapowo Cliff on the Polish coast of the Baltic Sea?
This study focuses on discussing the relationship between the accumulation of peat and its compaction in the overbank zone of the Miocene river system. The examined 2nd Lusatian lignite seam is characteristically interbe...
