Outline of Final Research Achievements

Hemoglobin in the blood is a magnetic molecule holding ferrous iron; therefore, blood-stain on cloth may become magnetized by geomagnetism and preserve the geomagnetic orientation. The aim of this study was to determine the magnetic orientation preserved on the magnetized blood-stain by using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer system. The solution of 9 mM ferric chloride, which corresponds to the equivalent density of ferric ions in blood, was dropped onto the substrate in the magnetic field equivalent to approximately 1.5 times intensity of the geomagnetic field. The orientation of the magnetization on the stain samples could be identified by SQUID measurements. However, the magnetization of the blood-stain samples were not detectable.
