Mössbauer spectroscopy on selectred magnetic compounds

Abstract: The applications of magnetic materials are related to their magnetic and crystal structure as well as electronic properties. In this thesis, mainly experimental methods have been focussed on novel materials and bulk materials. A selection of materials were studied by several techniques like Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray and neutron diffraction and magnetisation measurements.New technology allow us to prepare artificial materials with unic magnetic properties. Magnetic multilayers are very interesting not only from phenomenological point of view but also as good applications materials. In this work will be shown some results from Fe/V and Fe/Co multilayer systemThe (Fe1-xMnx)3P system has been studied at both ends of the composition range. At the Fe-rich end, compounds exhibiting ferromagnetic ordering are formed, while at the Mn-rich end, an antiferromagnetic coupling was discovered. The experimental results are supported by theoretical calculations.Rare-earth compounds with focus on Fe0.65Er0.2B0.15 were studied by means of traditional Mössbauer spectroscopy, Monochromatic Circular Polarized Mössbauer Spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and magnetic mesurements. This compound shows interesting behaviour of Fe magnetic moment at low and room temperature.The first magnetic studies on rhombohedral Li3Fe2(PO4)3 at low temperature has also been made and an antiferromagnetic structure was revealed.
