The magnetic relaxation spectra of different types of single crystalline magnetite are investigated in the temperature range 4 K < T < 450 K and compared with corresponding spectra obtained on stoichiometric (Fe 3 O 4 ) and vacancy‐doped polycrystals (Fe 3−Δ O 4 ). Three basic relaxation mechanisms are revealed within the following temperature ranges 4 K < T I < 35 K, 40 K < < T II < 130 K and 200 K < T III < 450 K, which may be associated to either electronic ( T I , T II ) or ionic ( T III ) hopping processes. In crystals with systematically reduced stoichiometry characteristic modifications in the structure of these spectra are observed from which additional information for a theoretical understanding may be obtained.
