The oxyborates show a variety of interesting physical behavior associated w
ith the existence of low dimensional units in their crystalline structure.
In this paper we present transport, x-ray, magnetic, and Mossbauer spectros
copy measurements in homometallic ludwigites. These results give evidence o
f charge localization and reveal an unusual magnetic behavior. We observe t
he existence of a reentrant weak ferromagnetism as well as the coexistence
of paramagnetic and antiferromagnetic spins in Fe3O2BO3. [S0163-1829(99)095
