“…In b-NFO, an inverted spinel, the Ni atom resides in the octahedral site, the mean Ni-O distance being 2.04 Å. In its second shell, Ni has 12 neighbors, comprising of 6Ni and 6Fe atoms, at 2.954 Å and in the third shell it has 6Fe atoms at 3.457 Å [40]. Consequently the first three RSF peaks of the composites, which coincide with the corresponding peaks in b-NFO, were assigned to Ni-O, Ni-(Ni/Fe) and Ni-Fe shells, respectively (Fig.…”
