The iron sulphide Fe3S4(greigite) is similar to its oxide counterpart Fe3O4(magnetite) as to the crystal structure and ferrimagnetic order, but differs in electronic states. The ab initio calculations have evidenced p-type carriers at three spin-minority and three spin-majority Fermi surfaces, which is in contrast to the half-metallic character of magnetite with n-type carriers at three spin-minority Fermi surfaces. The transport properties including Hall and Nernst effects have been studied over the range 2–300 K by using nanogranular ceramics prepared by cold isostatic pressing of Fe3S4particles with the mean crystallite size of crystallite size of dXRD ≈ 80 and 30 nm,respectively. The samples show metalliclike electrical resistivity with large residual value at T → 0 K. The p-type character of the charge carriers is reflected by the positive sign of both the thermopower and Hall effect.
