Hh. Hamdeh et al., MOSSBAUER STUDY OF AEROGEL-SYNTHESIZED GE-FE-OXIDE WITH T-N NEAR 260 K, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 186(3), 1998, pp. 377-380
Fine powders with nominal composition of GeFe2Ox were synthesized by t
he aerogel method. The highly heterogeneous material comprises of smal
l crystallites, not larger than 3 nm, in a mixture of amorphous matrix
. Nevertheless, Mossbauer spectroscopy indicates that the Fe ions in m
any different environments in the calcined product undergo simultaneou
sly an antiferromagnetic transition near 265 K. (C) 1998 Elsevier Scie
