Summary
Determination of palaeointensity using the method of anhysteretic magnetising is reported. It is based on the study of the synthetic magnetite of three fractions which was thermoremanently magnetised in a known laboratory field. The experimental data of the anhysteretic magnetisation were treated using cubic splines.
A method of determining the palaeointensity from the behaviour of the anhysteretic magnetisation curve is described while using a designed methodology of three types of regimes of the anhysteretic magnetising process.
A way of investigating the palaeointensity of a natural rock sample by the method of anhysteretic magnetising is suggested.
