Abstract
A relaxation calorimetry investigation of magnetite () single crystals, with controlled metal-to-oxygen stoichiometry, indicates a change in the nature of the Verwey transition. Beyond a critical composition () the transformation changes from first to higher order and is marked by the loss of the latent heat of transition.
