Novel Pressure-Induced Magnetic Transition in Magnetite (Fe3O4)

Abstract: Fe K-edge x-ray magnetic circular dichroism of magnetite (Fe3O4) powders was measured with synchrotron radiation under variable pressure and temperature conditions in diamond anvil cell. The magnetic dichroism was observed to decrease discontinuously by approximately 50% between 12 and 16 GPa, independent of temperature. The magnetic transition is attributed to a high-spin to intermediate-spin transition of Fe2+ ions in the octahedral sites and could account for previously observed structural and electrical an… Show more

“…HP RXES has been successfully used for quantitatively measuring the development of multiple electronic configurations with differing 4f occupation numbers, revealing information on the delocalization of the strongly correlated 4f electrons [248,249]. Intermediate spin state of Fe3O4 at 15-16 GPa has been identified by combining XMCD and RXES [56].…”

“…3). Bassett et al [53,54] drilled holes or grooves on the diamonds to reduce the optical path through them down to several hundred microns, thus greatly reducing the diamond absorption between 5 and 10 keV and enabling HP x-ray spectroscopy of transition element Kedges (e.g., Mn [55] and Fe [56]) and rare-earth element L-edges (e.g., Ce [57,58]). Perforated and partially perforated anvils have been commercially available and widely used for either reducing the diamond absorption [59] or minimizing the background scattering signals from the anvils [60,61].…”

“…This high-pressure structure does not order magnetically at 300 K 7 and shows a semiconductorlike behavior. 9,10 Fe K-edge x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements [11][12][13] have been reported to give a comprehensive view of the magnetic behavior of magnetite with pressure. A pressure-induced magnetic transition shown by a sharp decrease (∼50%) in the amplitude of the XMCD signal was reported between 12 and 16 GPa by Ding et al (Ref.…”
