Cubic inverse spinel structure of Fe₃O₄ with tetrahedral and octahedral sites above (a) and distorted monoclinic crystal structure below the T_V (b). The double and superexchange interaction mechanisms (c) [13]. Sketch of the localized structure of the spins at tetrahedral and octahedral sites (d). The density of states occupied by electrons of Fe⁺² ions at octahedral sites (e).
