The Mossbauer isomer shift of iron in the cubic oxygen-deficient perov
skite SrFeO3-Delta and in brownmillerite SrFeO2.5, has been measured a
t 500 degrees C as a function of oxygen partial pressure p(O2). The av
erage charge on the iron ions has been calculated from the isomer shif
ts and is discussed in the framework of the defect structure of the co
mpound.
