Charge ordered structure of magnetiteFe3O4below the Verwey transition

Wright, Jon P., Attfield, J. Paul, Radaelli, Paolo G.·2002·Physical Review B

Abstract

The crystal structure of highly stoichiometric magnetite $({\mathrm{Fe}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{4})$ below the Verwey transition has been refined from high-resolution neutron and synchrotron x-ray powder-diffraction data. The refined model has a monoclinic $P2/c$ symmetry cell with orthorhombic Pmca pseudosymmetry constraints on the atomic positions, and contains four independent octahedral B site iron atoms. Charge ordering is evidenced by the presence of expanded and contracted $B{\mathrm{O}}_{6}$ octahedra, and by the distribution of B-B distances resulting from unequal Coulombic repulsions between the different B site charges. The B-B distances are inconsistent with dimer formation. Competition between the $B\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{O}$ and B-B interactions results in polar displacements of two of the B site cations. The charge ordering has a predominant [001] density modulation, which relieves a nesting instability in the electronic density of states, but a second $[00\frac{1}{2}]$ phase modulation also occurs. The monoclinic distortion at the Verwey transition is consistent with a macroscopic rhombohedral magnetostriction, driven by the localization of orbitally degenerate ${\mathrm{Fe}}^{2+},$ coincident with the microscopic charge ordering distortions that have an orthorhombic lattice symmetry.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
