Popis: The thermal conversion of lepidocrocite (γ-FeOOH) into maghemite (γ-Fe2O3)and hematite (α-Fe2O3) has been studied by dynamic (DSC) and static heating experiments. Dynamic heating defines two main regions: conversion of lepidocrocite to maghemite (endothermal signal peaking at 255°C) and conversion of maghemite to hematite (exothermal signal peaking at 450°C). In addition, an exotherm following the lepidocrocite to maghemite endotherm is observed. The maghemite phase appears as porous aggregates of nanocrystals characterized by an extensive spin-canting. We suggest that the additional exotherm is associated with structural changes and a decreasing extent of spin-canting in the maghemite phase.
