Magnetite is a mineral and one of the main iron ores, with the chemical formula Fe 2+ Fe 3+ 2 O 4. It is one of the oxides of iron, and is ferrimagnetic; [6] ...
Iron(II,III) oxide, or black iron oxide, is the chemical compound with formula Fe 3 O 4.It occurs in nature as the mineral magnetite.It is one of a number of iron oxides, the others being iron(II) oxide (FeO), which is rare, and iron(III) oxide (Fe 2 O 3) which also occurs naturally as the mineral hematite.
Iron(III) oxide was the most common magnetic particle used in all types of magnetic storage and recording media, including magnetic disks (for data storage) and magnetic tape (used in audio and video recording as well as data storage). Its use in computer disks was superseded by cobalt alloy, enabling thinner magnetic films with higher storage ...
Only a few oxides are significant at the earth's surface, particularly wüstite, magnetite, and hematite. Oxides of Fe II. FeO: iron(II) oxide, wüstite; Mixed oxides of Fe II and Fe III. Fe 3 O 4: Iron(II,III) oxide, magnetite; Fe 4 O 5 [2] Fe 5 O 6 [3] Fe 5 O 7 [4] Fe 25 O 32 [4] Fe 13 O 19 [5] Oxides of Fe III. Fe 2 O 3: iron(III) oxide. α ...
The formula for magnetite is more accurately written as FeO·Fe 2 O 3 than as Fe 3 O 4. Magnetite is one part FeO and one part Fe 2 O 3, rather than a solid solution of wüstite and hematite. Magnetite is termed a redox buffer because, until all Fe 3+ present in the system is converted to Fe 2+, the oxide mineral assemblage of iron remains
Titanomagnetite is a mineral containing oxides of titanium and iron, with the formula Fe 2+ (Fe 3+,Ti) 2 O 4. It is also known as titaniferous magnetite, mogensenite, Ti-magnetite, or titanian magnetite. [1] It is part of the spinel group of minerals. The Curie temperature for titanomagnetite has been found to have a wide range of 200 to 580°C ...

Ancient people learned about magnetism from lodestones (or magnetite) which are naturally magnetized pieces of iron ore.The word magnet was adopted in Middle English from Latin magnetum "lodestone", ultimately from Greek μαγνῆτις [λίθος] (magnētis [lithos]) [1] meaning "[stone] from Magnesia", [2] a place in Anatolia where lodestones were found (today Manisa in modern-day Turkey).
