Energy Eigenstates of Electrons, Magnons and Phonons in Fe${}_3$O${}_4$ (magnetite), MnFe${}_2$O${}_4$ (jacobsite), and mixed Mn-Zn ferrites

Deepak Dhariwal, Michael R. von Spakovsky, William T. Reynolds

We report first-principles calculations of the electronic structure, magnon excitations, and phonons in magnetite (Fe${}_3$O${}_4$), jacobsite (MnFe${}_2$O${}_4$), and mixed manganese-zinc…
