Abstract
When highly divided spinel ferrites become reactive enough with oxygen, to allow the oxidation of the Fe2+ ions at low temperature and of substitute cations too, when these cations are capable of different valence states. We prepared fine particles of spinel ferrites substituted by Mn, Mo, Cu, by "chimie douce", especially from oxalate precursors and used them to reveal and to study the oxido-reduction phenomena occurring in these finely divided materials. It was shown that the oxidation created a new family of spinel ferrites : the mixed-valence defect ferrites, having specific characteristics and properties. The ferrites of this type can be fine powders prepared at low temperature, or ground ferrites obtained at high temperature, or thin films.
