Summary
Scientific abstract
The proposed project is the continuation of our research on the physical properties of Fe-based mineral phases, which are widespread in geological systems and can be readily synthesized in the laboratory. These minerals are of considerable interest because they are the major magnetic carriers in the Earth’s crust and their physical properties make them suitable as starting point to design functional materials. Fe-based mine...
