Mössbauer Spectrometry of Spinel Ferrites

The magnetic characteristics of spinel ferritesSpinel ferrite subjected to pressure, those synthesized using ball millingBall milling and chemical methods, show variation in the magnetic properties arising from their cation distribution. Mössbauer spectrometryMössbauer spectrometry of Fe-based spinel ferritesSpinel ferrite such as magnetiteMagnetite, maghemiteMaghemite, substituted ferrites and other related ferrite systems are discussed in this chapter. Important high-pressure experiments on spinel ferritesSpinel ferrite probed through Mössbauer spectrometryMössbauer spectrometry are presented. In addition, the cation distributions in the A- and B- sites of spinel ferritesSpinel ferrite investigated with an applied external magnetic fieldMagnetic field using 57Fe Mössbauer spectrometryMössbauer spectrometry are also included wherever required.
