We provide evidence that thin films of magnetite Fe 3 O 4 epitaxially grown on single-crystalline MgO (100), form domains with unique magnetic properties. Strong 180 Fe-O-Fe superexchange paths at antiphase domain boundaries result in a frustration of the interdomain interactions. Probe-layer Mössbauer spectroscopy shows superparamagnetic behavior in the entire film, in spite of the nearly perfect layer-by-layer growth. Superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry is used to determine the temperature and thickness dependence of the superparamagnetic blocking temperatures.
