Journal Article
Coker, V. S., Pearce, C. I., Lang, C., van der Laan, G., Pattrick, R. A., Telling, N. D., …Lloyd, J. R. (2007). Cation site occupancy of biogenic magnetite compared to polygenic ferrite spinels determined by X-ray magnetic circular dichroism.

Ferrite spinels, especially magnetite (Fe3O4), can be formed either by geological, biological or chemical processes leading to chemically similar phases that show different physical characteristics. We compare, for the first time, magnetite produced...
