The magnetic and dielectric properties of InFe2O4, InFeCuO4, and InGaCuO4 have been investigated. All these materials are isostructural with RFe2O4 (R = Y, Ho-Lu), which shows ferroelectricity due to iron-valence ordering. InFe2O4 exhibits ferrimagnetic ordering at T(C) approximately 242 K and a dielectric constant (epsilon) of approximately 10,000 at around room temperature. These properties resemble those of RFe2O4; the origins of the magnetic and dielectric phenomena are likely common in InFe2O4 and RFe2O4. From measurements of the other two materials, we found that both T(C) and epsilon are decreased in the order of InFe2O4, InFeCuO4, and InGaCuO4. This result strongly supports the previously reported explanation based on an electron transfer between the Fe-site ions for the corresponding rare-earth systems. Therefore, we propose that the dielectric properties of the oxides isostructural with RFe2O4 are plausibly governed by electron transfer; this situation is different from that of ordinary ferroelectrics and dielectrics, in which the displacement of cations and anions is important. In addition, InFeCuO4 and InGaCuO4 exhibit large epsilon values (epsilon > approximately 1500). In consideration of this property, we discuss the possible applications of these oxides.
