Abstract

The effect of Mn concentration on the formation of nano-domain structures in the spinel oxide (Co,Fe,Mn)3O4 was investigated by electron diffraction, bright-, and dark-field imaging technique with transmission electron microscopy. Large scale phase separation with nano-twin domains was observed in Co0.6Fe1.0Mn1.4O4, in contrast to the highly aligned checkerboard nano-domains in Co0.6Fe0.9Mn1.5O4. Diffusion of the Mn3+ ions with the Jahn-Teller distortions is suggested to play an important role in the formation of checkerboard nano-domain structure.
