57Fe,61Ni, and121Sb M�ssbauer study of oxidic spinel ferrites CoxNi5/3?xFeSb1/3O4

1987

Antimony substituted nickel ferrites Co x Ni5/3−xFeSb1/3O4 withx=0,1/3,1,4/3, and 5/3 were prepared by the common ceramic technique, and the single-phase structure was confirmed by x-ray powder diffraction.57Fe Mossbauer spectra were recorded at 4.2 K with and without an applied magnetic fieldHlong=60 kOe in order to determine the cation distribution and the spin structure. Utilizing the cation distributions and the Yafet-Kittel spin structures for B-site Fe3+ ions, derived from Mossbauer experiments the calculated magnetic moments are in excellent agreement with the experimental values at 4.2 K. The existence of Ni2+ ions in crystallographic A-sites was confirmed by61Ni Mossbauer spectrosc…
