“…Using a single doublet component to fit the spectrum did not accurately reproduce the profile, while using two quadrupolar components allows the line shape to be satisfactorily modeled. The same situation has been reported previously for other Fe containing pyrochlores, such as (Bi 1.8 Fe 0.2 )­(FeSb)O 7 and Bi 2 BB′O 7 (where B = Cr or Fe, and B′ = Nb, Ta, and Sb) . These studies concluded that the two observed components were due to small amounts of iron that were located on the A site with the majority on the B site of the structure; however, in the current study the two component fit to the Mössbauer data could equally be due to the presence of chemical disorder in the crystal structure.…”

“…5) can be related to the iron in paramagnetic and paraelectric regular phase that was observed on the XRD pattern. The second much smaller one could be ascribed to iron in pyrochlore impurity phase that is also evidenced at the XRD pattern, and the obtained IS value is in the range 0.40-0.49 mm/s, which was previously reported for pyrochlores of similar composition [23].…”

“…Reflecting this trend, we could not prepare the Pr 2 SbFeO 7 and Nd 2 SbFeO 7 pyrochlores without a second doublet (i.e., the largest one) in their Mössbauer spectra, even after many synthesis tries, at different heat treatment temperatures. We attribute this second subspectrum to iron cations occupying the RE site (16c), in the same way it was observed for Bi 2 FeMO 7 (M = Ta and Sb) pyrochlores [18]. Throughout some unknown mechanism, larger ionic radii (i.e., 0.99 Å, 0.983 Å and 1.03 Å, for Pr 3+ , Nd 3+ and Bi 3+ , respectively) favor the occupancy of site 16c by Fe 3+ cations.…”

“…Such Bi-deficient pyrochlores were, eventually, found in poly-phase systems [15][16][17]. Another interesting feature associated with the site disorder is the displacive disorder, frequently observed through the (4 4 2) reflection in the PXRD patterns [18,15]. However, this did not appear in any of the materials studied here.…”
