P. Brovetto et al., A STUDY BY MOSSBAUER-SPECTROSCOPY OF IRON-POLLUCITE, Nuovo cimento della Societa italiana di fisica. D, Condensed matter,atomic, molecular and chemical physics, biophysics, 17(9), 1995, pp. 1079-1082
Synthetic samples of pollucite with different amounts of aluminum-iron
substitution, or with both aluminum-boron and aluminum-iron substitut
ions, were investigated by Mossbauer spectroscopy. Experimental data s
how that the tetrahedral sites of silicon and aluminum ions are substa
ntially equivalent, but with iron substitutions as large as 75% or mor
e, lattice deformations are originated which make the sites different.
