A controlled point-like disorder induced by low temperature 2.5 MeV electron irradiation was used to probe the nature of the Verwey transition in magnetite, $\text{Fe}_{3}\text{O}_{4}$. Two large single crystals, one with optimal transition…
The Verwey transition in magnetite (Fe$_3$O$_4$) is the first metal-insulator transition ever observed and involves a concomitant structural rearrangement and charge-orbital ordering. Due to the complex interplay of these intertwined…
We incorporate single crystal Fe$_3$O$_4$ thin films into a gated device structure and demonstrate the ability to control the Verwey transition with static electric fields. The Verwey transition temperature ($T_V$) increases for both…
Magnetite (Fe3O4) is of fundamental importance as the original magnetic material and also for the Verwey transition near T_V = 125 K, below which a complex lattice distortion and electron orders occur. The Verwey transition is suppressed by…
Seeking to unravel the enigmatic Verwey transition and its interplay with magnetism, we have conducted comprehensive measurements on the temperature-dependent electrical resistivity and magnetic moment of stoichiometric and doped-magnetite…
Tunneling transport measurements performed on single particles and on arrays of Fe3O4 (magnetite) nanocrystals provide strong evidence for the existence of the Verwey metal-insulator transition at the nanoscale. The resistance measurements…
Magnetite, Fe$_3$O$_4$, is the first magnetic material discovered and utilized by mankind in Ancient Greece, yet it still attracts attention due to its puzzling properties. This is largely due to the quest for a full and coherent…
The first known magnetic mineral, magnetite (Fe$_3$O$_4$), has unusual properties which have fascinated mankind for centuries; it undergoes the Verwey transition at $T_{\rm V}$ $\sim$120 K with an abrupt change in structure and electrical…
By combining {\it ab initio} results for the electronic structure and phonon spectrum with the group theory, we establish the origin of the Verwey transition in Fe$_3$O$_4$. Two primary order parameters with $X_3$ and $\Delta_5$ symmetries…
The Verwey phase transition in magnetite has been analyzed using the group theory methods. It is found that two order parameters with the symmetries $X_3$ and $\Delta_5$ induce the structural transformation from the high-temperature cubic…
Fe3O4 (magnetite) is one of the most elusive quantum materials and at the same time one of the most studied transition metal oxide materials for thin film applications. The theoretically expected half-metallic behavior generates high…
Contact effects in devices incorporating strongly-correlated electronic materials are comparatively unexplored. We have investigated the electrically-driven phase transition in magnetite (100) thin films by four-terminal methods. In the…
We investigated the electronic and vibrational properties of magnetite at temperatures from 300 K down to 10 K and for pressures up to 10 GPa by far-infrared reflectivity measurements. The Verwey transition is manifested by a drastic…
Effects of the Verwey transition on the (100) surface of magnetite were studied using scanning tunelling microscopy and spin polarized low-energy electron microsccopy. On cooling through the transition temperature Tv, the initially flat…
The complex conductivity at the (Verwey) metal-insulator transition in Fe_3O_4 has been investigated at THz and infrared frequencies. In the insulating state, both the dynamic conductivity and the dielectric constant reveal a power-law…
In many transition metal oxides the electrical resistance is observed to undergo dramatic changes induced by large biases. In magnetite, Fe$_3$O$_4$, below the Verwey temperature, an electric field driven transition to a state of lower…
Understanding the driving mechanisms behind metal-insulator transitions (MITs) is a critical step towards controlling material's properties. Since the proposal of charge-order-induced MIT in magnetite Fe3O4 in 1939 by Verwey, the nature of…

The magnetic properties of biologically-produced magnetite nanocrystals biomineralized by four different magnetotactic bacteria were compared to those of synthetic magnetite nanocrystals and large, high quality single crystals. The magnetic…
We have studied the electronic structure of bulk single crystals and epitaxial films of magnetite Fe$_3$O$_4$. Fe $2p$ core-level spectra show clear differences between hard x-ray (HAX-) and soft x-ray (SX-) photoemission spectroscopy…
