Four Primary Forms

Iron oxide is available in four primary forms, each with distinct properties and applications.

Magnetite

Magnetite

Magnetite is a magnetic material form of predominately iron(II), with chemical formula Fe3O4, and is one of several iron oxide and a member of the spinel group.

Goethite

Goethite

Goethite is a hydrated iron oxide and has the chemical formula of FeOOH or Fe(OH)3 Goethite is found all over the planet naturally, however NanoChemonices can produce synthetically uniforn acicular crystals with size and surface area ranging from one nano meter ( 320 m2/gm surface area) to micron sizes.

Hematite

Hematite

Hematite is also known as Iron (III) oxide having the formula Fe2O3 but is red in color and exhibits anti-ferromagnetic (non-magnetic) behavior.

Maghemite

Maghemite

Maghemite is an Iron(III) oxide analyogus to rust having the chemical formula Fe2O3. It is a ferro magnetic oxide has a spinel structure and is commonly used in magnetic tape, for example in the magnetic layer of audio tape, floppy disk, digital tape etc.

Mixed Metal Oxides

Mixed Metal Oxides

Mixed Metal Oxides can be prepared using iron oxide based materials and can take on the formula, MxFe2O4. These materials can possess magnetic or non-magnetic behavior and exhibit conductive properties at the same time.
