The Verwey Transition Revisited

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((ASIC,volume 58))

Abstract

Magnetite, the ferrospinel Fe3+[Fe2+Fe3+]04, is ferrimagnetic with atomic moments characteristic of localized, high- spin configurations with orbital-momentum quenched. An unactivated electrical conductivity of low electron mobility u leaves open the question whether the mobile d electrons on the octahedral sites are itinerant (u = ei/m*) or polarons (u = eDo/kT) having no activation energy for a jump between molecular orbitals of Fe-Fe pairs. Below a sharp Verwey transition at about 120K, the mobile charges are ordered; but the structural evidence is still inadequate to clarify whether this is a complex ordering of small polarons or the stabilization of a charge-density wave.
