Changes in the nature of the Verwey transition in nonstoichiometric magnetite (Fe3O4)

Abstract
A relaxation calorimetry investigation of magnetite (Fe3(1δ)O4) single crystals, with controlled metal-to-oxygen stoichiometry, indicates a change in the nature of the Verwey transition. Beyond a critical composition (δcr0.0039) the transformation changes from first to higher order and is marked by the loss of the latent heat of transition.
