Mass extinctions-Superchrons draft June 2010
... these superchrons ended at about the time of the greatest mass extinction—at the Permian-Triassic boundary. These superchrons are hypothesized to have lasted long enough, say, 10 million years or so, to have allowed, evolutionarily-speaking, species to attempt to exploit (even totally) magnetotaxis ...

NEW MAGNETIC OBSERVATORIES IN BRAZIL Katia Pinheiro
... The observed geomagnetic field is a result of contributions from the core, ionosphere, magnetosphere, crust and induced field. The core magnetic field is caused by a dynamo process with an approximated dipolar geometry and magnitude of the order of 70000 nT near the poles and about half near the equ ...

Magnetochemistry
Magnetochemistry is concerned with the magnetic properties of chemical compounds. Magnetic properties arise from the spin and orbital angular momentum of the electrons contained in a compound. Compounds are diamagnetic when they contain no unpaired electrons. Molecular compounds that contain one or more unpaired electrons are paramagnetic. The magnitude of the paramagnetism is expressed as an effective magnetic moment, μeff. For first-row transition metals the magnitude of μeff is, to a first approximation, a simple function of the number of unpaired electrons, the spin-only formula. In general, spin-orbit coupling causes μeff to deviate from the spin-only formula. For the heavier transition metals, lanthanides and actinides, spin-orbit coupling cannot be ignored. Exchange interaction can occur in clusters and infinite lattices, resulting in ferromagnetism, antiferromagnetism or ferrimagnetism depending on the relative orientations of the individual spins.
