Rock Magnetics (RM.Lab)
RM.Lab is headed by Prof. Dr. Agnes Kontny.
| Objective |
Objective of RML is a better understanding of physico-chemical processes on the grain- to nano scale using the magnetic properties of minerals rock. This includes real rock and experimental rock, pore space alteration, fluid migration and experimental rock mechanics. |
| Applications |
Rock magnetic characterization of all reservoir type rocks assess migration of hydrogen by rock magnetic alteration |
| Rock Magnetics Equipment |
Kappa-Bridge (KLY5A) for magnetic susceptibility (bulk, field-dependent, in-phase, out of phase, anisotropy (magnetic fabric), temperature-dependent (magnetic mineralogy) Kappa-Bridge (KLY4A) for magnetic susceptibility (bulk, field-dependent, in-phase, anisotropy (magnetic fabric), temperature-dependent (magnetic mineralogy) Handheld Kappameters (SM30) for field studies Spinner Magnetometer (JR5A) for natural remanent magnetization, AF thermal demagnetization of crystalline rocks |
| Workshop | The Chair of Structural Geology holds its own thin section & polishing lab and thanks to the lab's highly experienced workshop staff holds expertise in staining and polishing small rocks volumes |
