[meteorite-list] Carbon Nanotubes Go Magnetic

2004-03-08 Thread Ron Baalke

Carbon nanotubes go magnetic
Belle Dume
PhysicsWeb
8 March 2004 

Physicists have shown that carbon nanotubes can become magnetized 
when they are placed in contact with a magnetic material. Michael 
Coey of Trinity College in Dublin and colleagues believe the 
mechanism relies on the transfer of spin - carried by electrons - 
from the magnetic substrate to the nanotube (O Céspedes et al. 
2004 J. Phys.: CM 16 L155).

It is widely believed that graphite and other forms of carbon can 
have ferromagnetic properties, but the effects are so weak that 
physicists are not sure if the magnetism is due to tiny amounts of 
iron-rich impurities, or if it is an intrinsic property of the
carbon. In 2002 Coey's group measured the magnetic properties of a 
meteorite sample and found that only two-thirds of the magnetization 
could be accounted for by magnetic minerals present in the sample. 
The rest, they argued, must come from the carbon. In particular, 
they proposed that ferromagnetic nanocrystals in the sample 
induced a magnetic moment in the carbon via proximity effects. 

Subsequent theoretical work by Mauro Ferreira and Stefano Sanvito 
showed that a measurable magnetic moment could be produced in carbon
nanostructures if they were placed close to a ferromagnetic surface. 
Now, the team has confirmed these predictions in experiments with
multi-walled carbon nanotubes that have been shown to be free from 
magnetic impurities. 

Coey says that the main challenge in his experiment was to measure 
the tiny magnetic moment of the nanotubes over the large background 
magnetic moment coming from the magnetic material. To overcome this, 
the team placed the nanotubes onto ferromagnetic substrates that had 
been uniformly magnetized in one direction. This ensured that no 
stray fields were produced by the substrate.  However, the nanotubes 
did produce a sizeable stray field when placed on the surface, and 
the Dublin team was able to measure this with a magnetic force
microscope. Moreover, nanotubes placed on non-magnetic substrates, 
such as silicon or gold, showed no magnetization. 

The group calculated the average room temperature magnetization in 
the nanotubes to be 0.1 Bohr magnetons per carbon atom. By 
comparison, the figure for iron is 2.2.  This work opens new 
avenues for magneto-electronics, Coey told PhysicsWeb.

For instance, one can foresee devices where the magnetic and 
electrical contacts are separated. The magnetic contact could be 
used to magnetically polarize the nanotubes - and to manipulate the 
spins - while the non-magnetic contacts are used as current/voltage 
electrodes.

Dear Dave,

Please notice, that Ensisheim 
is not the "oldest witnessed and recorded fall with material still existant" as 
you state onyou eBay sales page.

It has been replaced by Nogata 
whichfell in 861 A.D.(see information from MetBase below). However, 
this does not reduce the value of Ensisheim as material of Nogata isn't

[meteorite-list] Norton Book burning / giveaway!

2004-03-08 Thread Tom aka James Knudson
Hello list, I always thought the world of O. Richard Norton, I just thought
he was the greatest meteorite guy around.  I have both of his books and
thought I was learning a lot from them. Well I was informed by an (unnamed)
prominent list member that the books are incorrect so I have no further use
for them, so I am giving them away!

You see, I was discussing science with this member and I said;

 I do not understand scientists and their way of thinking, (I am no
scientist) and I do not know if they would do something out of laziness,
just like I don't know why they needed 900 lbs of the Old Woman meteorite
for study...

And I was told by this list member;

They didn't need 900 lbs of the Old Woman for study...why don't you get
that story straight too.  It appears you are the lazy one - get on the
internet and do some of your own research...you don't have to be a
scientist to do that!

Well Richard Norton said on page 254 in  Rocks from Space

Smithsonian researchers removed a piece of the meteorite (about 15% of it's
bulk) for study (15% of 3 tons = 900 pounds). Richard Norton even has a
picture on that page of the 900 pound end piece right after the Smithsonian
cut it!

 So in conclusion, Richard Norton must have been lazy and did not do any
research before writing these books! My suggestion, A big Norton book
burning, the books are wrong and if you quote them, you will get nasty
emails too!

Actually, I still think the world of Richard Norton,  I just wish the list
member who said this to me would get his facts strait before sending nasty
emails! And I will keep my books after all! : )

Thanks, Tom

Hi Tom and all,

You had me going until I got to the bottom of your email. I don't know what
un-informed person told you that bit of information but it is obvious they need to do
a bit of research if they are capable of understanding it.

Richard  Norton is certainly one of the best informed people around and his books are
really excellent. One of the books I recommend most often to people wanting to know
more about meteorites. He covers so much ground so very well for meteorite
affectionados.

I seriously doubt that any book published has perfect information in it. This is for
three reasons. First things change or are learned that changes the facts in books from
the time they are written. Second even if research is done very well (think of all the
odds and ends you would have to chase down in a book that size) there can always be
misunderstood or misrepresented information. Third when you send a book out to be
printed, there can be typos beyond the authors control. Why we have additional
printings for correcting some items.

Even printing a 24 page catalog like I have done in the past had more mistakes than I
liked. I could certainly take my lessons from Richard and get it done better. It's
great to have books still in print by the author.  Best!

[meteorite-list] OT- Our position regarding the IMCA

2004-03-08 Thread Adam Hupe
Dear List members,

We recognize that the List and IMCA are two different entities.  Since they
cross over sometimes we thought we would state our position regarding the
IMCA.  If you are not interested please just delete this message and no harm
will have been done.

It was mentioned that my brother, Greg and I do not belong to the IMCA.  We
have been members since its inception and fully endorse the efforts of this
group.  We do not post often because the group is managing itself pretty
well.  In our opinion, the IMCA is evolving into a highly respected entity
by going to non-profit corporation status.  It seems like the natural thing
to do since the IMCA is more and more becoming a recognized authority on
such important subjects such as authenticity.

Although the group has limitations regarding ebay issues, Ken is doing a
professional job contacting sellers who are marketing questionable items.  I
am sure this has reduced the number of frauds being committed by accident or
otherwise and for this we should all be thankful.  It takes a lot of effort
to contact these vendors and for this the IMCA should be applauded.  Almost
everybody including ourselves has been scammed at one time or another and it
leaves a bad taste that lasts a long time.  If some buyers can be spared
this I do not see a problem in trying to prevent it.

As far as law suites go, we would be willing to pay for lab time and a
professional scientist's report on questionable material if legal action was
brought to bear against the IMCA.  We hope to see IMCA become the benchmark
on authenticity that only a coherent group as a whole can produce.  The IMCA
can only reach this goal as a collective group, more powerful than any
single individual.

We fully endorse the IMCA,

Adam and Greg Hupe

[meteorite-list] NASA Rovers Watching Solar Eclipses By Mars Moons

2004-03-08 Thread Ron Baalke

Donald Savage
Headquarters, Washington March 8, 2004
(Phone: 202/358-1547)

Guy Webster
Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif.
(Phone: 818/354-5011)

RELEASE: 04-085

NASA ROVERS WATCHING SOLAR ECLIPSES BY MARS MOONS

NASA's Mars Exploration Rovers have become eclipse 
watchers.

Though the Viking Landers in the 1970s observed the shadow of 
one Mars' two moons, Phobos, moving across the landscape, and 
Mars Pathfinder in 1997 observed Phobos emerge at night from 
the shadow of Mars, no previous mission has ever directly 
observed a moon pass in front of the sun from the surface of 
another world.

The current rovers began their eclipse-watching campaign this 
month. Opportunity's panoramic camera caught Mars' smaller 
moon, Deimos, as a speck crossing the disc of the sun on March 
4. The same camera then captured an image of the larger moon, 
Phobos, grazing the edge of the sun's disc on March 7.

Rover controllers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), 
Pasadena, Calif., are planning to use the panoramic cameras on 
both Opportunity and Spirit for several similar events in the 
next six weeks. Dr. Jim Bell of Cornell University, Ithaca, 
N.Y., lead scientist for those cameras, expects the most 
dramatic images may be the one of Phobos planned for March 10. 

Scientifically, we're interested in timing these events to 
possibly allow refinement of the orbits and orbital evolution 
of these natural satellites, Bell said. It's also exciting, 
historic and just plain cool to be able to observe eclipses on 
another planet at all, he said.

Depending on the orientation of Phobos as it passes between the 
sun and the rovers, the images might also add new information 
about the elongated shape of that moon.

Phobos is about 27 kilometers long by about 18 kilometers 
across its smallest dimension (17 miles by 11 miles). Deimos' 
dimensions are about half as much, but the pair's difference in 
size as they appear from Mars' surface is even greater, because 
Phobos flies in a much lower orbit.

The rovers' panoramic cameras observe the sun nearly every 
martian day as a way to gain information about how Mars' 
atmosphere affects the sunlight. The challenge for the eclipse 
observations is in the timing. Deimos crosses the sun's disc in 
only about 50 to 60 seconds. Phobos moves even more quickly, 
crossing the sun in only 20 to 30 seconds.

Scientists use the term transit for an eclipse in which the 
intervening body covers only a fraction of the more-distant 
body. For example, from Earth, the planet Venus will be seen to 
transit the sun on June 8, for the first time since 1882. 
Transits of the sun by Mercury and transits of Jupiter by 
Jupiter's moons are more common observations from Earth.

From Earth, our moon and the sun have the appearance of almost 
identically sized discs in the sky, so the moon almost exactly 
covers the sun during a total solar eclipse. Because Mars is 
farther from the sun than Earth is, the sun looks only about 
two-thirds as wide from Mars as it does from Earth. However, 
Mars' moons are so small that even Phobos covers only about 
half of the sun's disc during an eclipse seen from Mars.

JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology in 
Pasadena, manages the Mars Exploration Rover project for NASA's 
Office of Space Science, Washington. Images and additional 
information about the project are available from JPL at:

Images of those two events are available online at:

Hi,

I agree. Norton's The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Meteorites is certainly
the best comprehensive meteorite book available. Best equipped with great
pictures and despite there might be some details in the chapter about the
irons, which are perhaps to be discussed, I warmthly recommend it to all,
who don't have it yet. No better book around and you will enjoy it even
after many years.

Cheers!

 Dear List,
 Wasn't someone leaving the list after  some whiny story?  And then they
 came back, and back again, now they want to crucify one of the most
 amazing persons in the meteorite world.
 I say sets burn someone else like the one who won't stay away.
 Stupid is as stupid does.

Dave, I in no way crucified the Norton's, read the post again, it was
sarcasm!!!
I am sorry I have not left the list, something came up that enabled me to
stay online!!!
I hope things go down hill for me from here on out so you don't have to
misunderstand anything I post!
Thanks, Tom

2004-03-08 Thread Jeff Kuyken



G'day all,

For those of you who purchased NWA 3099 or are just 
interested, I spoke with Bernd over the past couple of weeks regarding this 
particularlyremarkable meteorite. Bernd had some interesting things to say 
it which are posted at the end of the page here:
