Abstract

Abstract Single crystals of magnetite were grown and annealed under a controlled oxygen atmosphere to produce homogeneous, single phase samples. Heat capacity studies revealed a single, sharp first order heat capacity transition at the Verwey transition, no anomaly at 10 K, and an entropy of transition of ΔS = R In 2 per mole of Fe3O4.
