Abstract

Two electronic magnetic relaxation phenomena are reported for the manganese ferrite system, which are both explained by electron hopping processes between octahedral iron ions: the first one by hopping between Fe/sup 2+/ and Fe/sup 3+/ ions with a Mn/sup 2+/-ion as nearest neighbor and the second one by hopping between iron ions with only iron nearest neighbors. Electrical conductivity measurements performed on a single crystal, showed further that the composition dependence of activation energy for the conductivity behaves in a similar way as the magnetic activation energy which is a strong evidence for the proposed Fe/sup 2+/-Fe/sup 3+/ electron exchange mechanism. >
