Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

We have studied the cation distribution over the tetrahedral and octahedral sites in the spinel structure of nanocrystalline Ni x Zn1 − x Fe2O4 ferrites prepared by spray pyrolysis. 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy data for the ferrites demonstrate that, depending on the composition of the materials, the tetrahedral site may accommodate only Fe3+ (inverse spinel, x ≥ 0.4) or both Fe3+ and Zn2+ cations (mixed spinel, x = 0 and 0.2), which accounts for the fact that the composition dependence of the unit-cell parameter for the ferrites deviates from Vegard’s law.
