The model, applicable to fine-grained haematite, assumes that the magnetization of a grain is constrained to lie in the basal plane, within which there is a single easy axis. Following Stoner and Wohlfarth (1948), torque curves and rotational hysteresis are calculated, for various field strengths, as a function of the orientations of the basal plane and easy axis. The results show that, for certain orientations, rotational hysteresis may be expected to persist to very high field strengths. Further, the dependence of rotational hysteresis on orientation implies that rotational hysteresis is anisotropic and thus, that, for a distribution of grains, the anisotropy of resultant rotational hysteresis will reflect the degree of preferred orientation. It may therefore serve as a rock fabric parameter. Calculated models of resultant rotational hysteresis for assumed preferred orientation distributions compare favourably with measurements on a sample of Cambrian purple slate from North Wales.
