Magnesioferrite spinel, MgFe2O4, was synthesized at 900 °C from equimolar amounts of reagentgrade oxides, MgO and Fe2O3, and quenched in air. The structural behavior of magnesioferrite was determined from in situ synchrotron X-ray powder-diffraction data [ = 0.92225(4) Å] at room pressure and temperatures from 28 to 982 °C on heating and cooling. The a unit-cell parameter increases linearly on ...

baft ophiolite mélange is a part of naein-baft ophiolite (southeast of kerman province in iran). serpentinites from baft ophiolite mélange contain different types of spinels such as chromite, chromespinel, ferritchromite and magnetite which can reveal different stages of evolution in host serpentinites. the compositions of baft chromites show that they belong to podiform chromitites that may ha...

TWO different spinels, analyses of which are given, occur in the layered ultramafic rocks at Dawros. Chrome spinel occurs both as gravity-stratified cumulates and as complex orbs, while an Al-rich spinel is both in rocks of the main Dawros magmatic sequence and in an association with an aluminous bronzite, which may originate by recrystallization. It is concluded that while the chrome spinel is...

Magnetic measurements were carried out on different samples of Lithium-Manganese spinel LiMn 20 4 , great care having been taken to avoid the presence of spurious magnetic phases, such as Mn 3 0 4 . Susceptibility data, showing deviations from paramagnetic behaviour at about 40 K, were analyzed in terms of local magnetic interactions, taking into account the structural and transport properties ...
