Continuation of a Facility: Institute for Rock Magnetism

9304363 Banerjee该奖项为明尼苏达大学地质和地球物理系岩石磁性研究所的运营和维护提供为期三年的资金。该研究所成立于1990年，资金来自NSF、W.M.凯克基金会和明尼苏达大学。该研究所为从事研究的科学家提供使用最先进仪器的途径，这些研究旨在了解岩石磁化以反映周围地球磁场的机制。在其存在的最后三年中，IRM设施，如其高场(5T)、低温(4K)SQUID磁感度计和磁光克尔效应(MOKE)磁域成像仪，一直被参观者用来解决关于磁性载体的组成、浓度和粒度的问题。该研究所的开放获取政策将在该奖项的任期内继续实行，不向合格的科学家提供任何费用。***

9304363 Banerjee This award provides funding for three years for the operation and maintenance of the Institute for Rock Magnetism in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Minnesota. The Institute was established in 1990 with funds from NSF, the W.M. Keck Foundation, and the University of Minnesota. The Institute provides access to state-of-the-art instrumentation for scientists engaged in research aimed at understanding the mechanisms by which rocks become magnetized to reflect the ambient geomagnetic field. During the last three years of its existence IRM facilities such as its high-field (5 T), low-temperature (4 K) SQUID susceptometer and its magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) magnetic domain imager have been used by visitors in solving questions about the composition, concentration, and grain-size of the magnetic carriers. The Institute's policy of open access at no cost to qualifying scientists will be continued during the tenure of this award. ***
