释义 | ferriten.adj. A. n. 1. Chemistry and Materials Science. Any of a series of solid compounds with the general formula MFe2O4 (where M is a metal ion in the +2 oxidation state or a stoichiometrically equivalent mixture of such ions); (as a mass noun) material of this kind. Also more widely: any compound that can be regarded as being formed from ferric oxide or hydroxide and a metal oxide or other base.Many ferrites MFe2O4 have magnetic properties and a low electrical conductivity that make them suitable for use in permanent magnets, transformer cores, and other high-frequency electrical components. All have crystal structures related to that of the mineral spinel (MgAl2SiO4).

J. Chapman in Notices & Abstr. Brit. Assoc. Advancem. Sci. 1850 50 He shows, that, on this supposition, the formula RO, R2O3, which represents the highly-natural group of aluminates, ferrites, chromites, and their isomorphs,—comprising the well-established monometric or regular forms, spinel, gannite, magnetic iron ore, chromic iron, &c.,—should be isomorphous with 3RO, 2SiO3, the formula of a remarkable division of monoclinic or oblique prismatic silicates, including augites, Wollastonite, and other kindred forms. 1851 H.

Mag. 2 40 If he [sc. J. W. Young] might be allowed to propose a name for it, he would suggest ‘Ferrite’, from the large percentage of iron it contains. 1882 M. F. Heddle in Mineral. Mag. Feb. 30 Ferrite seems therefore to have a doubtful claim to rank as a mineral, or to be, at most, a pseudomorph. 1904 A. Harker Tertiary Igneous Rocks Skye iii. 35 We find also pseudomorphs with a deep red-brown colour, which probably belong to what Professor Heddle has named ferrite. b. Geology. An amorphous material, typically red, brown, or yellow, consisting largely of iron oxide or hydroxide and occurring as particles in the groundmass of rocks. Now rare. ΚΠ 1875 E. S. Dana in J. D. Dana Syst. Mineral. (new ed.) App. ii. 21 Ferrite, a name proposed by Vogelsang..for the amorphous oxide of iron (hydrous), which in red or yellow particles plays an important part in many rocks, and whose composition is as yet undetermined. 1888 J. J. H. Teall Brit. Petrogr. viii. 288 The ground-mass is so crowded with granules and flecks of opacite, viridite and ferrite that it is impossible to determine its original character. 1920 Ore Deposits Utah (U.S. Geol. Surv.) 575/1 In the Stoddard Mountain area and parts of the other areas the biotite is almost entirely decomposed to ferrite. 3. Metallurgy. A relatively soft allotropic form of pure iron which has a body-centred cubic crystal structure and is the stable form of iron below 910°C (more fully alpha ferrite) and above approx. 1400°C (more fully delta ferrite). Also: a component of steel consisting of this form of iron containing a small proportion of carbon in solid solution.Alpha and delta ferrite are also called alpha iron and delta iron respectively.Between the above temperatures the stable form of iron is the face-centred cubic allotrope austenite (= gamma iron n. at gamma adj. 2a). Cf. beta n. 2g(a).
