ИЗМЕРЕНИЯ ЭЛЕКТРОННЫХ РЕЛАКСАЦИОННЫХ ПРОЦЕССОВ В МАРГАНЦЕВЫХ ФЕРРИТАХ

The measurements of magnetic loss factor in the system Mn _x Fe_3–x O_4+y for 0.62x1.66 are described. The temperature range used was 2°K to 360°K and four fixed frequencies 75, 150, 300, and 600 kHz were employed. The results show, that three distinct processes were found with various dependences upon composition. The corresponding maxima in tg vsT curves are situated at 2°K, 10°–50°K, and 90°–350°K respectively. The connection of these processes with electron transport and/or reorientation of distortions surrounding octahedrally coordinated Mn³⁺ ions is used as a basis for an interpretation already proposed earlier.
