Jm. Greneche et al., A MIXED NICKEL-CADMIUM FERRITE INVESTIGATED BY MOSSBAUER SPECTROMETRY, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 140, 1995, pp. 2087-2088
Out-field and in-field Mossbauer experiments were performed at low tem
perature on several mixed nickel-cadmium ferrites. We report on a firs
t analysis of the in-field Mossbauer spectra, which involve two indepe
ndent discrete distributions of effective fields: the relative area of
octahedral and tetrahedral ferric contributions suggests the existenc
e of reversed magnetic moments located in octahedral sites. In additio
n, the line intensities of the in-field spectra give clear evidence fo
r a collinear ferrimagnetic structure up to x = 0.30 and a canted spin
structure for x > 0.30.
