How would the magnetic properties of magnetite change if it were a normal spinel?
Magnetite is strongly magnetic
Magnetite have a black color streak
the molecules FeCr2O4, ZnAl2O4 belongs to AB2X4 and have spinel structure
Spinels are important class of metal oxides.
They exhibit two common forms of cooperative magnetic properties .
Ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism.
Spinel ferrite is known to be good candidate for magnetic recording and microwave applications.
Nano-sized grains of ferrite are being applied in permanent magnets, magnetic drug delivery, and high-density information storage.
Spinels in general are very important in solid state electronic industry for their electric and magnetic properties.
