Ferrimagnetic Clusters as the Origin of Anomalous Curie–Weiss Behavior in ZnFe2O4 Antiferromagnetic Susceptibility

Different studies carried out in the last three decades on the magnetic susceptibility of the spinel ZnFeO ferrite have revealed the positive character of its Curie–Weiss temperature, contradicting its observed antiferromagnetic behavior which is characterized by a well-defined susceptibility peak c...

This work shows how for very low values of the inversion parameter, the small percentage of Fe atoms located in tetrahedral sites gives rise to the appearance of ferrimagnetic clusters around them. Superparamagnetism of these clusters is the main cause of the anomalous Curie–Weiss behavior.
