The crystal structure of cubic K2Cd(CN)4 (a = 1286.01(9) pm, Fd 3̅ m, Z = 8) was determined from 175 independent X-ray single crystal reflections (w R = 0.0178). Regular [Cd(CN)4]2- tetrahedra (Cd - C = 222.5(3), C - N = 111.3(3) pm) and strongly trigonally elongated [KN6] octahedra ( K - N = 293.0(2) pm) are arranged in a normal spinel type manner.

We report in this work about the inversion of the spinel structure of ZnFe2O4induced by the substitution of Zn2+by Ni2+ions. Positron lifetimes were measured in Zn1-xNixFe2O4with different concentrations (x) of doped Ni2+ions and a drastic change across x = 0.4 – 0.6 was observed, which is attributed to this transformation. The interchange of positions of the cations on doping leaves a fraction of them unoccupied and these vacancies act as positron trapping centres. Since Ni2+is smaller in size than Zn2+, defects due to non-stoichiometry are less in NiFe2O4than in ZnFe2O4. The increase in positron lifetime implies the trapping of positrons being shifted from A- to B-sites and is an indication of the transformation from inverse to normal spinel configuration. Coincidence Doppler broadening measurements supported these findings.

The series of ferrites CuCr2-xFexSe4 (x=0.10.5) were obtained as polycrystalline compounds using conventional ceramics sintering method. The stoichiometric amounts of spectrally pure elements were used for synthesis. The phase and structure determination was done using X-ray analysis. The Rietveld method was applied for structure refinement. It occurred that all samples were multi-phase, the main content crystallized in cubic, normal spinel structure.

Positron lifetime and Doppler broadening measurements were carried out on nanocrystalline (grain size ~60–65 nm) samples of the Cr3+-substituted cobalt ferrite system with general chemical formula CoCrxFe2−xO4 (x=0.0−2.0) synthesized by the coprecipitation technique. The results indicated selective trapping of positrons in large vacancy clusters initially at the tetrahedral (A-) sites and then with Cr3+-substitution up to concentration (x)=0.7, at the octahedral (B-) sites. The results are consistent with the cation distribution determined from X-ray diffraction line intensity calculations, which indicated partial inversion of the inverse spinel ferrite, subsequent stabilization over a range of substitution (x=0.7 to 1.7), and finally the full inversion to the normal spinel chromite (CoCr2O4, x=2.0). In the intermediate range of substitution, lattice contraction prevented a fraction of Co2+ ions released from the (B-) sites from entering the tetrahedral sites, and these vacancies at the (A-) sites trapped positrons. Although the samples were composed of nanocrystalline grains, only an insignificant fraction of positrons were diffused and annihilated at the grain surfaces, since the grain sizes and the thermal diffusion length of positrons nearly overlapped.
