IRM Quarterly Series on Low-Temperature Magnetism

This ongoing series of articles seeks to provide a comprehensive basic review of the most common types of low-temperature experiments carried out at the IRM, the phenomena observed, and how these can be interpreted. Check back for updates!

Part 1: Superparamagnetism and Paramagnetism
Part 2: The Hematite Morin Transition (260 K)
Part 3: The Magnetite Verwey Transition (120 K)
Part 4: The Pyrrhotite Transition (32 K)
