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.

A β-FeSi2 sample was ball-milled for different periods in a vibratory ball-mill and studied by X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy. It transforms gradually with milling time into an α-FeSi2 phase.

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.

Mössbauer spectroscopy of 129I and 197Au nuclei has been applied for AuI and AgAuI2 to clarify the electronic structures of the gold and iodine atoms, and to investigate the nature of the Au-I bonds. In the 129I Mössbauer spectra the sign of e2qQ is positive for AuI, whereas the sign is negative for AgAuI2. This is attributable to the difference in molecular structures: The iodine atom in AuI is bridged by two gold atoms and in AgAuI2 the iodine is terminal. The 197Au Mössbauer spectra suggest that the Au-I bond in AgAuI2 is more covalent than that in AuI. We have revealed that AgAuI2 consists of Ag+ and linear [I-Au-I]- units from the Rietveld refinement of the X-ray powder diffraction pattern

Mesoporous silica SBA-15 containing propyl-iron-phosphonate groups were considered to confirm their molecular structure. To detect the iron-containing group configuration the Mössbauer spectroscopy was used. Both mesoporous silica SBA-15 containing propyl-iron-phosphonate groups and pure doping agent (iron acetylacetate) were investigated using Mössbauer spectroscopy. The parameters such as isomer shift, quadrupole splitting, and asymmetry in57Fe Mössbauer spectra were analyzed. The differences in Mössbauer spectra were explained assuming different local surroundings of Fe nuclei. On this base we were able to conclude about activation of phosphonate units by iron ions and determinate the oxidation state of the metal ion. To examine bonding between iron atoms and phosphonic units the resonance Raman spectroscopy was applied. The density functional theory (DFT) approach was used to make adequate calculations. The distribution of active units inside silica matrix was estimated by comparison of calculated vibrational spectra with the experimental ones. Analysis of both Mössbauer and resonance Raman spectra seems to confirm the correctness of the synthesis procedure. Also EDX elemental analysis confirms our conclusions.

AbstractIlmenites from the least-altered rocks of the Beja-Acebuches Ophiolite Complex (SE Portugal), with low Ti values and excess Fe, despite rare optical evidence of hematite exsolution, were studied by 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. According to single-crystal XRD the sequence of alternate layers characteristic of the ideal ilmenite structure is preserved, the excess Fe being accommodated in the Ti layers. No superparamagnetic oxides were detected by 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. The typical spectra of bulk αFe2O3 and of Fe3+-containing ilmenite, in the paramagnetic state above 49 K and magnetically ordered at 6 K, are observed. The average degree of oxidation of the ilmenites, estimated from the chemical analysis assuming ideally stoichiometric full cation site occupancies, is also confirmed by 57Fe Mössbauer data. Since our crystal chemistry study gave no evidence of crypto-exsolution textures within the ilmenite with the observed compositions, fast cooling from magmatic temperatures and decomposition of ilmenite in supergene conditions is suggested.

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.
