Abstract
A.C. susceptibility measurements are performed on small γFe2O3 crystallites and analysed by the William Landel Ferry method used for viscoelastic polymers. Temperature dependence of the shift factor is consistant with a relaxation time τ (T) which follows an Arrhenius law with an activation energy E/k = 5 013 K.
