Abstract: | The oxidation of magnetite yields the lacunar phase γ-Fe2O3, for sizes less than 5000 Å and the rhombohedral phase, α-Fe2O3, for sizes above 10 000 Å. For intermediate sizes, oxidation kinetics and X-ray analysis have confirmed that the γ-Fe2O3 phase forms at the beginning of the reaction, followed by phase α-Fe2O3 forming from γ-Fe2O3 and then directly from the still-unoxidized magnetite. Influence of size could be accounted for in terms of structure and stresses at the crystal lattice level. |
