The most recently identified iron oxide polymorph
The most recently identified iron(III) oxide polymorph, ε-Fe2O3, shows the highest coercivity among all known metal oxides (20–22.5 kOe) and could be used as a magnetic recording material for high-density recording media. In addition, its magnetoelectric properties predestine that it could be useful in producing multiple-state-memory elements. Finally, it exhibits ferromagnetic resonance in a millimeter wave region, giving it potential applications in devices for suppressing electromagnetic inte
