The superparamagnetic effect arises from the superparamagnetism exhibited by a multitude of nano-sized magnetic mineral particles under an external electric field.This phenomenon manifests in transient electromagnetic data primarily as a deceleration in the attenuation rate of late-stage signals,a characteristic difficult to discern directly from airborne transient electromagnetic signals,consequently leading to significant misinterpretations of subterranean electrical structures.This study embarks on 3D forward modeling of airborne electromagnetic responses in the frequency domain,accounting for the superparamagnetic effect,utilizing an unstructured finite element method.Superparamagnetic responses in the time domain were obtained through frequency-time conversion.This investigation explores the influence of various parameters—such as magnetic susceptibility,time constants,and flight altitude—on the superparamagnetic effect by examining the response characteristics of typical targets.Findings indicate that in its late stages,the superparamagnetic effect can induce a relative anomaly of up to 300%.There is a positive correlation between magnetic susceptibility and the strength of the superparamagnetic effect.The influence of the time constant's upper and lower limits on the superparamagnetic effect is minimal;however,the range between these limits significantly affects the effect,showing a negative correlation with its intensity.Higher flight altitudes weaken the superparamagnetic signal.The impact is most pronounced when superparamagnetic minerals are shallowly buried,effectively shielding the underlying geology with the characteristics of a good conductivity anomaly,but this effect diminishes with greater depth.The insights from this study provide a theoretical framework for a deeper understanding of the superparamagnetic effect in transient electromagnetic signals and for more accurate interpretations of subterranean geological and electrical structures.
