The temperature dependence of the magnetic hyperfine fields on 57 Fe nuclei at the tetrahedral (A) and octahedral (B) interstitial sites in (Zn, Cd, Cu) 0.5 Ni 0.5 Fe 2 O 4 oxides have been investigated in Mössbauer measurements at sample temperatures ranging from 79 K to 850 K. The samples were prepared by solid-state reaction, and their phase determined from XRD measurements, which also provided information on their X-ray densities, grain sizes and lattice constants. The magnetic transition temperatures between ordered and paramagnetic states were obtained from zero-velocity measurements. The Cu 0.5 Ni 0.5 Fe 2 O 4 sample is found to be antiferromagnetic with Néel temperature of 823 K, and its super-exchange interactions, J AB , J AA and J BB were determined to be j24.14 k B , j13.10 k B and +11.68 k B , respectively. The (Zn, Cd) 0.5 Ni 0.5 Fe 2 O 4 are ferrimagnetic with Curie points of 543 and 548 K, respectively, and corresponding average exchange integrals J o = 186 k B and 188 k B .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
