What Does ARM Stand For?
ARM stands for Anhysteretic Remanent Magnetization
ARM, or Anhysteretic Remanent Magnetization, refers to a magnetic property of materials that describes the remanent magnetization acquired by a sample in the absence of an external magnetic field. This phenomenon occurs when a material is subjected to a uniform magnetic field and then the field is removed, allowing the sample to retain a permanent magnetization state that is stable and independent of previous magnetic history. ARM is important in various applications, including paleomagnetism and geophysical studies, as it provides insights into the magnetic characteristics and history of geological formations.
