  Maghemite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maghemite (Fe, γ-Fe) is a member of the family of iron oxides.
It has the same structure as magnetite, that is, it is spinel ferrite and is also ferrimagnetic.
Maghemite is formed by the topotactic oxidation of magnetite.

 maghemite
The abundance of water on Earth has converted much of the maghemite into a noncatalytic form, but on Mars it has survived virtually unaltered.
It was cited by Vance Oyama in his explanation of the results of the Viking labeled release (LR) experiment (see Oyama's hypothesis, about the active nature of the Martian soil).
Synthetic maghemite is being studied as part of an electrically conductive and magnetizable film in nanocomposite structures.

 Study of Superparamagnetic Relaxation in Nanophase Maghemite
Maghemite is a ferromagnetic iron oxide crystal that has many applications in the magnetic recording media.
Nanophase maghemite, often found in the corrosion coatings of atmospherically exposed structural steels, has particle size of the order of 10-20 nm and exhibit superparamagnetic behavior.
In order to characterize the superparamagnetic behavior of maghemite, and to estimate the anisotropy constant as a function of particle volume, synthetic nano-crystals of Maghemite of different particle sizes were produced.

 CHARACTERISTICS AND GENESIS OF MAGHEMITE IN LOESS-PALEOSOL SEQUENCES OF CHINA
Our results indicate that maghemite in loess-paleosol layers were transformed from oxidation of sub-micrometer scale magnetite, and the nanometer scale magnetite was mainly resulted from microbial activities.
The oxidation of sub-micrometer size magnetite into maghemite nanocrystal is responsible for paleosol susceptibility enhancement, because the nanostructured iron oxide minerals have abnormal high susceptibility.
This investigation also suggests that nanometer maghemite is more stable than hematite because the maghemite has lower surface energy than that of hematite, according to the results of McHale for surface energies and thermodynamic phase stability in nanocrystalline alumina.

Maghemite is formed either by the oxidation of magnetite or by the thermal dehydration of lepidocrosite.
The X-ray patterns confirmed the identity of the sample and the TEM data indicated that the sample was well crystallized.
