The AC susceptibility of an Fe3O4crystal has been studied from 4.2 to 300 K with field applied along a [1 1 0] direction. There is a sharp peak in χ′ and minimum in χ″ at 130 K where K1changes sign, a precipitous drop in χ′ and maximum in χ″ at the Verwey transition and a further, frequency-dependent decrease in χ′ accompanied by peak in χ″ below 50 K. The low-temperature behavior is associated with an activated relaxation process having τ0= 6 × 10−9s, Ea= 0.04 eV which is due to the coupled electron hopping and domain wall motion.
