It was found that Fe3O 4 had a noninteger spin moment, in contrast to its predicted half-metallic feature. The Coulomb interaction of 3d electrons lead to the unquenched orbital moment of Fe3O4. Analysis suggested that strong correlation and spin-orbit interaction of the 3d electrons results in the noninteger spin and large orbital moments of Fe3O4.Approximation theory; Band structure; Electronic structure; Electrons; Magnetic moments; Neutron diffraction; Single crystals; X ray diffraction analysis; Charge ordering; Spin moment; Spin polarization; X-ray absorption; Iron oxidesjournal article10.1103/PhysRevLett.93.077204153242712-s2.0-20844437591WOS:000223273300056
