Abstract A series of europium doped Na2O-B2O3-SiO2, PbO-GeO2 and ZnOTeO2 glasses was investi-gated by means of151 Mössbauer spectroscopy. The distortion of the Eu sites has been evaluated in the Na2O-B2O3-SiO2 glasses by means of the quadrupolar interaction parameter and the asym-metry parameter; the disorder has been estimated by the line width. The occupancy of the sites in the borosilicate glasses is discussed. The correlation of the isomer shift with the optical basicity of the glass is discussed in terms of the degree of covalence of the Eu-O bond.

The symmetry and disorder of the Eu3+ site was investigated in some phosphate and borate glasses by means of 151Eu Mössbauer spectroscopy. The quadrupole interaction parameter, which is due to the distortion of the Eu site compared to a cubic symmetry, has been measured together with the asymmetry parameter, which points out the absence of a threefold or fourfold axis of symmetry at the rare earth site. The correlation of the isomer shift with the optical basicity of the glass indicates a covalent component with 6s character in the Eu-O bond. The axial component of the electric field gradient at the Eu site is also correlated with the optical basicity.

In this work the hyperfine interactions of (EuxY1−x)0.3Ba0.1CuO3(x=0.5, 0.7, 1.0) superconductors have been studied by 151Eu Mössbauer effect. X-ray diffraction shows that the materials are of single phase. Mössbauer spectra were measured at 300K and 83K. The results show that Eu ions are in the trivalent oxidation state. The isomer shift decreases with the increasing of composition x. The electron density at the 151Eu nuclei is decreased below the zero resistance temperature.

In 1958 Rudolph L. Mössbauer reported his discovery of a simple, practical way of observing nuclear gamma ray resonance. One of the remarkable features of the discovery was the high precision with which energy changes can be measured: energy resolutions of one part to 1011 −1013 are possible. With this high resolution capability it is possible to measure hyperfine interactions between the nucleus of an atom and its electronic environment. These interactions affect the line shape which can be described by several experimental Mössbauer parameters. The three primary parameters are the isomer shift (δ), the quadrupole splitting (Δ), and the magnetic hyperfine interaction.The isomer shift, determined by the position of the centroid of a set of lines in a spectrum, is proportional to the electron density at the nucleus. Since only s electrons have a probability of being at the nucleus, it is possible to obtain electronic structure information such as oxidation state and population of certain molecular orbitals.The quadrupole splitting results when the electron environment surrounding the Mössbauer nucleus is not spherical in its charge distribution. Specifically, Δ is proportional to the imbalance in electron density between the axial and equatorial directions. When this hyperfine interaction is present, there is a quadrupole splitting; i.e., a single spectra line will split into two or more lines.

AbstractStructural data have been obtained on the cation surroundings in multi-component silicate and borosilicate glasses using chemically selective spectroscopic and scattering methods, such as extended X-ray absorption and neutron scattering with isotope substitution (NSIS). Transition elements such as Ni or Ti may occur in unusual 5-coordinated sites which coexist with other coordination numbers, depending on glass composition. Distribution of cationic sites in the glassy structure is responsible for unusual spectroscopic properties, as shown by Fe2+ Mössbauer spectroscopy. The environment of cations such as Zn, Zr or Mo, has been determined by EXAFS and discussed using the bond valence theory, which predicts the way to charge compensate the oxygen neighbours and which indicates the linkage of cationic sites with the silicate framework. Cation-cation correlations are given by NSIS up to ∼8 Á, indicating an extensive Medium Range Ordering (MRO) with corner- and edge-linked cationic polyhedra, for Ti and Ni-bearing glasses, respectively. This heterogeneous cationic distribution in glasses is consistent with the presence of two-dimensional domains in which cation mixing may occur, as shown in a Ca-Ni metasilicate glass. Three-dimensional domains have also been found by Ni-K edge EXAFS in the case of low alkali borate glasses, with a local structure which mimics some aspects of crystalline NiO. The presence of ordered cationic domains, clearly illustrated by Reverse Monte Carlo simulations helps to rationalize the physical properties of multi-component silicate glasses.
