G. Filoti et al., MAGNETIC-PROPERTIES AND CATION DISTRIBUTION IN IRON-CONTAINING PYROCHLORES, Journal of alloys and compounds, 268(1-2), 1998, pp. 16-21
Iron-containing pyrochlores, having ions with various valencies on the
B-sites, were investigated by magnetic measurements and Mossbauer spe
ctroscopy. The influence of the ionic radius and of the valence state
of the different cations accommodated on A or B sites on the super-exc
hange interactions and local distortions was emphasized. Three local c
onfigurations of iron were given as evidence in agreement with a model
based on a random distribution of ions over the B-sites. (C) 1998 Els
