Powder diffraction refinements of the structure of magnetite (Fe3O4) below the Verwey transition
Magnetite is a classic example of a mixed-valent transition metal oxide, in which electronic conductivity and ferromagnetism result from electron hopping between octahedrally coordinated Fe2+ and Fe3+ states. Below the 122 K Verwey transition, the conductivity falls by a factor of ∼100 and a complex...
