Anomalous temperature dependence of electrical resistivity in Mg0.6Zn0.4Fe2O4 ferrite

The electrical resistivity of Mg0.6Zn0.4Fe2O4 ferrite was measured as a function of temperature in the range 300-630 K. Two anomalies are observed in the resistivity curves for measurements during heating up. These anomalies are identified as a magnetic anomaly at the Neel temperature, TN = 598 K,...
