Oxidation induced strain and defects in magnetite crystals

Oxidation induced strain and defects in magnetite crystals, Published online: 11 February 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-08470-0

Oxidation of magnetite has broad implications in geochemistry and environmental science, but its reaction mechanisms are not fully understood yet. Here the authors use Bragg coherent diffractive imaging to show oxidative dissolution of magnetite inducing a rich array of strain and defect structures.
