Aluminum doped manganese ferritesMnAlxFe2−xO4with0.0≤x≤1.0have been prepared by the double ceramic route. The formation of mixed spinel phase has been confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The unit cell parameter `aO' is found to decrease linearly with aluminum concentration due to smaller ionic radius of aluminum. The cation distributions were estimated from X-ray diffraction intensities of various planes. The theoretical lattice parameter, X-ray density, oxygen positional parameter, ionic radii, jump length, and bonds and edges lengths of the tetrahedral (A) and octahedral (B) sites were determined.57Fe Mössbauer spectra recorded at room temperature were fitted with two sextets corresponding to Fe3+ions at A- and B-sites. In the present ferrite system, the area ratio of Fe3+ions at the A- and B-sites determined from the spectral analysis of Mössbauer spectra gives evidence that Al3+ions replace iron ions at B-sites. This change in the site preference reflects an abrupt change in magnetic hyperfine fields at A- and B-sites as aluminum concentration increases, which has been explained on the basis of supertransferred hyperfine field. On the basis of estimated cation distribution, it is concluded that aluminum doped manganese ferrites exhibit a 55% normal spinel structure.

Nanoparticles of aluminum-substituted manganese zinc ferrites,Mn1.05Zn0.05AlxFe1.9−xO4with0.4≤x≤1.0were synthesized by solid-state reaction route and characterized by XRD, TEM, and Mössbauer spectroscopy measurements. The particle size is found to very from 46 to 28 nm with increase of aluminum ions concentration. The unit cell parameter “aO” is found to decrease linearly with aluminum ions concentration due to smaller ionic radius of aluminum. The cation distributions were estimated from X-ray diffraction intensities of various planes. The theoretical lattice parameter, bulk density, porosity, X-ray density, oxygen positional parameter, ionic radii, jump length, as well as bonds and edges lengths of the tetrahedral (A-) and octahedral (B-) sites were determined.Fe57Mössbauer spectra recorded at room temperature were fitted with two sextets corresponding toFe3+ions at tetrahedral (A-) and octahedral (B-) sites. The magnetic hyperfine fields at A- and B-sites show a gradual decrease with increase ofAl3+ion concentration, which has been explained on the basis of supertransferred hyperfine field. The cation distribution obtained from X-ray intensities and Mössbauer data indicates a decrease inFe3+(B)/Fe3+(A)ratio with increasing aluminum concentration thereby suggesting a decrease in ferrimagnetic behavior.

Nanocrystalline Ni75Fe25 (Ni3Fe) powders were prepared by mechanical alloying process using a vario-planetary high-energy ball mill. The intermetallic Ni3Fe formation and different physical properties were investigated, as a function of milling time, t, (in the range 6 to 96 h range), using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Mössbauer Spectroscopy techniques. X-ray diffraction were performed on the samples to understand the structural characteristics and get information about elements and phases present in the powder after different time of milling. The refinement of XRD spectra revealed the complete formation of fcc Ni (Fe) disordered solid solution after 24 h of milling time, the Fe and Ni elemental distributions are closely correlated. With increasing the milling time, the lattice parameter increases and the grains size decreases. The Mössbauer experiments were performed on the powders in order to follow the formation of Ni3Fe compound as a function of milling time. From the adjustment of Mössbauer spectra, we extracted the hyperfine parameters. The evolution of hyperfine magnetic field shows that the magnetic disordered Ni3Fe phase starts to form from 6 h of milling time and grow in intensity with milling time. For the milling time more than 24 h, only the Ni3Fe disordered phase is present with a mean hyperfine magnetic field of about 29.5 T. The interpretation of the Mossbauer spectra confirmed the results obtained by XRD.

AbstractOlivine basalts from southern Egypt were studied by 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy at 297 and 77 K, and by optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The 57Fe Mössbauer spectra show three-magnetic sextets, three doublets of ferrous (Fe2+), and a weak ferric (Fe3+) doublet that is attributable to a nanophase oxide (npOx). The magnetic sextets relate to titanomagnetite and the Fe2+ doublets to olivine, pyroxene, and ulvöspinel. Variations in the hyperfine parameters of the various Fe components are attributed to changes in the local crystal chemistry. The intensity of oxidation (Fe3+/ΣFe) in the rocks varies from 20-27% with the oxidized iron largely residing in the titanomagnetite.

Abstractβ-FeOOH (akaganéite) was prepared by slow hydrolysis of an FeCl3 solution. X-ray diffraction measurements gave refined unit-cell parameters of a=10·535 Å, c=3·030 Å.Two doublets with δ(Fe)=0·39, ΔEQ=0·95, and δ=0·38, ΔEQ=0·55 mm s−1, respectively, can be fitted to the Mössbauer spectrum taken at room temperature.Magnetically split Mössbauer spectra were registered at 135 and 4°K. These can be resolved into at least three superimposed sextets, corresponding to different Fe3+ sites in the β-FeOOH structure. At 4°K a three sextet model gives parameters of δ=0·36, ΔEQ=0·90, Hi=473; δ=0·35, ΔEQ=0·30, Hi=479; and δ=0·37, ΔEQ=−0·05 mm s−1, Hi=486kOe, respectively.The complexity of the Mössbauer spectra of β-FeOOH limits the usefulness of this method as a tool for the identification of akaganéite in composite natural samples.

Abstract Nano-magnetic ferrites with composition Mg1−xZnxFe2O4 (x = 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, and 0.7) have been prepared by coprecipitation method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies showed that the lattice parameter was found to increase from 8.402 to 8.424 Å with Zn2+ ion content from 0.3 to 0.7. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra revealed two prominent peaks corresponding to tetrahedral and octahedral at around 560 and 430 cm−1 respectively that confirmed the spinel phase of the samples. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showed that the particle size was noted to increase from 18 to 24 nm with an increase in Zn content from x = 0.3 to 0.7. The magnetic properties were studied by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) which ascertained the superparamagnetic behavior of the samples and contribution of superexchange interactions. The maximum magnetization was found to vary from 23.80 to 32.78 emu/g that increased till x = 0.5 and decreased thereafter. Further, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was employed to investigate the chemical composition and substantiate their oxidation states.

This report presents the synthesis of cadmium ferrite (CdFe2O4) by Oxalate co-precipitation and its subsequent characterization by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. XRD results confirm the single cubic spinel phase formation with lattice parameter 8.7561Ao. An infrared spectroscopy study shows the presence of main two absorption bands indicating the presence of tetrahedral and octahedral group complexes, respectively, within the spinel lattice. We also report strain, hopping length (LA and LB) and dislocation density  of ferrite sample.

ABSTRACTGlasses of stoichiometric cordierite composition Mg2(Al1−xFex)4Si5O18, containing very low iron contents (x=0.015 and 0.005) have been investigated by 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. At higher Fe concentrations spinel exsolution has been observed in X-ray powder patterns. To allow Mössbauer spectroscopy at very low Fe-concentrations (<0.8 weight* Fe2O), starting materials were doped with 100% 57Fe. Glasses prepared in air at 1560°C were also oxidized In water saturated O2 stream. Glasses were crystallized to cordierite by heating In air at 1100 to 1400°C. 57Fe-Mössbauer spectra of all samples are governed by a doublet typical for Fe2+ in octahedral coordination (IS: 1.09–1.15, QS: 2.00–2.31 in MM/s relative to metallic iron). X-ray powder patterns exhibit no additional phases. But, the 295 K and 5 K Mössbauer spectra of treated and untreated glasses and of cordierltes exhibit broad lines, which have been fitted by applying internal magnetic hyperfine fields H of ca. 500 kG. These lines are attributed to heterogeneously nucleated, superparamagnetic (MgFe) (AlFe)2O4 spinels of complex compositions. From the calculated subspec-tra one may conclude that 35 to 65% of the total iron, depending on preparation conditions, is incorporated in the spinels.
