In a series of oxides RFe2O4 (R = rare earth between Dy and Lu, or Y), equal numbers of Fe2+ and Fe3+ are located on a layer composed of two triangular nets stacked together. These oxides have several phase transitions where the arrangement of Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions transforms from one type to another. Unique dielectric properties of these oxides have been explained in connection with the charge ordering. Recent developments on the structure of the ordered phases are reviewed with comments on their correlation with the observed dielectric dispersion.
