G. Demazeau et al., STUDY UTILIZING MOSSBAUER SPECTROMETRY OF SN-119(4-STRUCTURE COMPOUNDCONTAINING TETRAVALENT IRON() DIAMAGNETIC PROBES OF A PEROVSKITE), Solid state communications, 87(2), 1993, pp. 109-114
A complex Sn-119 magnetic hyperfine structure revealing a large distri
bution of supertransferred fields (H(Sn4+))-Sn-119 with a mean value o
f 220 kOe has been observed at 4.2K in strontium ferrate sample corres
ponding to the chemical formula SrFe0.99Sn0.01O2.94. The Mossbauer spe
ctrum obtained was analysed using the method of Heese & Rubartsch and
interpreted in terms of an electron transfer involving e(g) orbitals o
f neighbouring Fe3+ and Fe5+ ions. The mentionned transfer appears to
be slowed down or completely stopped in the vicinity of the Sn-119(4+)
probe impurity. Moreover, doping with Sn4+ ions is found to contribut
e, as well as oxygen deficiency, to a drastic decrease of the Neel tem
perature observed.
