Abstract
In the paper the in∞uence of magnetic as well as electron{lattice interactions on the Verwey transition in magnetite related compounds is discussed based on the authors’ experimental activity and available literature. While magnetism was proved to only re∞ect the transition, the results of nuclear inelastic scattering show that lattice dynamics actively participates in it. The studies of difiuse neutron scattering and heat capacity suggest also that the low temperature lattice properties of slightly doped magnetite are distinct from those with higher dopant concentration. Finally, recent theoretical results strongly suggest that the Verwey transition in magnetite cannot be understood and described without strong involvement of electron{lattice interactions.
