Polycrystalline texture causes magnetic instability in greigite

Abstract Magnetic stability of iron mineral phases is a key for their use as paleomagnetic information carrier and their applications in nanotechnology, and it critically depends on the size of the particles and their texture. Ferrimagnetic greigite (Fe3S4) in nature and synthesized in the laborator...
