The magnetic relaxation spectrum of stoichiometric and vacancy-doped magnetite has been investigated in the temperature range between 4·2 and 130 K. The observed relaxation processes are classified as short- and long-range rearrangements of Fe2+ and Fe3+ ionic states within domain walls. It is proposed that below 35 K a coherent tunnelling process governs the mobility of electrons, but that above 50 K is replaced by a thermally activated hopping process leading to the Verwey transition at 123 K.
