Inverse spinel structures have a different cation distribution in that all of the A cations and half of the B cations occupy octahedral sites, while the other half of the B cations occupy tetrahedral sites. An example of an inverse spinel is Fe 3 O 4, if the Fe 2+ (A 2+) ions are d 6 high-spin and the Fe 3+ (B 3+) ions are d 5 high-spin.
Maghemite (Fe 2 O 3, γ-Fe 2 O 3) is a member of the family of iron oxides.It has the same formula as hematite, but the same spinel ferrite structure as magnetite (Fe 3 O 4) and is also ferrimagnetic.
Polyhedral representation of spinel MgAl 2 O 4. Spinel (/ s p ɪ ˈ n ɛ l, ˈ s p ɪ n əl / [7]) is the magnesium/aluminium member of the larger spinel group of minerals. It has the formula MgAl 2 O 4 in the cubic crystal system. Its name comes from the Latin word spinella, a diminutive form of spine, in reference to its pointed crystals. [5]
Hercynite is a spinel of regular symmetry and normal cation distribution, but some disorder occurs in its structure. It consists of ferrous (Fe 2+) ions and aluminium ions (Al 3+); however some ferric ions (Fe 3+) may be located in the structure of hercynite. [5] Melting point of this mineral is inbetween 1,692–1,767 °C (3,078–3,213 °F). [6]
Filipstadite is a very rare mineral [4] of the spinel group, with the formula (Mn,Mg)(Sb 5+ 0.5 Fe 3 + 0.5)O 4. [5] It is isometric, [3] although it was previously thought to be orthorhombic. When compared to a typical spinel, both the octahedral and tetrahedral sites are split due to cation ordering. [3] Filipstadite is chemically close to ...
The mineral ceylonite has the chemical composition of (Mg, Fe 2+) Al 2 O 4, putting it into a group of minerals known as the spinel group, or the oxide spinels. The oxide spinels have a formula of the model [A][B] 2 O 4; where [A] is commonly Fe 2+, Mg 2+, or Mn 2+, and [B] is Fe 3+, Al 3+, or Cr 3+. It is an iron-rich variety of the spinel ...

CdIn 2 S 4 exhibits the spinel structure, which can be described by a cubic unit cell with 8 tetrahedrally coordinated and 16 tetrahedrally coordinated cation sites. The distribution of Cd(II) and In(III) over the cation sites is difficult to elucidate from standard X-ray diffraction techniques because the two species are isoelectronic, but both Raman spectroscopy measurements on synthetic ...
