The electrical properties of some basalt material in the magnetic field

Basalt is a common type of rock covering very large part in the Earth's crust.This rock is occurred by volcanic activity and components within the basalt show a rich diversity. In this study, three types (KYZ-13, KYZ-24, CM1) of basalt sample collected from different region of Van city are examined. Experimental measurements were carried out such as morphological analysis, mastersizer measurement, SEM analysis. Pellets were produced from these samples in powder form. The electrical measurements of the samples were made under the magnetic field and without magnetic field by using impedance spectroscopy. As a result of the measurement, dielectric constant, conductivity, dielectric strength and relaxation time were examined depending on the frequency and the results were discussed.
