Temperature-Dependent Magnetic And Structural Properties Of Mn3O4

Abstract

Manganese oxide (Mn₃O₄) is a spinel-structured material renowned for its distinctive magnetic and structural characteristics. This research examines how these properties change with temperature, focusing on phase transitions, magnetic ordering, and structural stability. The study employs experimental approaches, including X-ray diffraction (XRD) and magnetometry, over a temperature range of 10–400 K. Key findings reveal a notable structural phase transition and significant magnetic changes, such as the shift from antiferromagnetic to paramagnetic states. These insights provide a deeper understanding of Mn₃O₄'s potential in applications like magnetic storage, catalysis, and spintronic devices, paving the way for further investigations into temperature-sensitive materials.
