The Ga3+ ions preferentially occupying the tetrahedral sublattice of the inverse spinel partly screen the dipole–dipole interactions and lead to the reduction of the magnetic response of Fe3+ ones. Calorimetric measurements confirm that the nanosized Fe2.4Ga0.6O4 system weakly agglomerates and simultaneously collect and release optimal amount of heat under the influence of an alternating magnetic field with the 15.3 kA/m of maximum magnetic field strength and 532 kHz of frequency.

The thermal behaviors of magnetizations belonging to the individual spins and total magnetization are examined in detail to map the possible phase diagrams on various planes. It was found that the model only exhibits second-order phase transitions in addition to one compensation temperature for appropriate values of the system parameters. In order to support the existence of the compensation temperatures, we have also carried out the Monte Carlo (MC) simulations and an agreement was shown with the predicted result of the MFT approach. We have also analyzed the effects of the bilinear interaction parameter between type-A atoms and the exchange interaction parameter ratio ( is the bilinear interaction parameter between type-A atoms and type-X atoms with X = C or D) on compensation temperatures.
