Figure 1 Figure 1: Illustrations of the Fe-site arrangement in archetype face-centred cubic crystal types of bulk iron oxides, namely: wüstite (FexO) (a), a defect-mediated rock-salt structure, with octahedrally coordinated (by oxygen - not shown for clarity) ferrous (Fe2+) sites (Oh; represented by dark green spheres), and interstitial ferric (Fe3+) tetrahedral sitesmore » (Td; depicted by large light green spheres) in the presence of four vacant (V) iron positions (light green). Such units compose V4-Td defect clusters (b) (oxygen shown by red spheres), whose coalescence (c) offers a likely pathway towards the nucleation of Fe3-δO4 (magnetite) (d). The latter represents the ferro-spinel family, with Fe-atoms in both types of coordination environment, and vacancy-bearing (220) lattice planes (highlighted). Both structural types accommodate trigonal pyramids of Fe-atoms as a common building block, forming a pyrochlore-type sublattice in magnetite« less
