The effect of Mn concentration on the formation of nano-domain structures in the spinel oxide (Co,Fe,Mn){sub 3}O{sub 4} was investigated by electron diffraction, bright-, and dark-field imaging technique with transmission electron microscopy. Large scale phase separation with nano-twin domains was observed in Co{sub 0.6}Fe{sub 1.0}Mn{sub 1.4}O{sub 4}, in contrast to the highly aligned checkerboard nano-domains in Co{sub 0.6}Fe{sub 0.9}Mn{sub 1.5}O{sub 4}. Diffusion of the Mn{sup 3+} ions with the Jahn-Teller distortions is suggested to play an important role in the formation of checkerboard nano-domain structure.
