New measurements of high field magnetisation (Is), remanence (Is), and coercive force (Hc) are presented between 4 and 300 K for x = 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 and 0.8 (Fe3-xTixO4). For x = 0.4 a pronounced minimum is found at T⋍100 K and for x = 0.5 and 0.6 broad minima occur around T⋍200 K, apparently coinciding with the temperature for K1⋍0. The magnetic properties below T⋍60 K ar complex and were found to be significantly changed by cooling in the presence of a high magnetic field. With no applied field during cooling, a distinct decrease in Is is observed for T<~60 K, at which temperature there is a peak in the value of Irs. The effe cooling is to eliminate the sharp decrease in Is, reduce Hc and to increase Irs below ~60 K to a value the peak value, giving essentially a square hysteresis loop. The results are interpreted in terms of a form of crystallographic phase transition coupled to the magnetisation direction, possibly by the magnetostriction. Square hysteresis loops in ferrites have been explained by the presence of Jahn-Teller ions and, in the present case, the low temperature of the observed effect may be a consequence of the weak Fe2+ Jahn-Teller ion coupled to other effects such as spin-lattice coupling.
