Magnetic structure of Sr{sub 2}Fe{sub 2}O{sub 5} brownmillerite by single-crystal Mössbauer spectroscopy
Abstract
In order to determine orientation of the Fe{sup 3+} magnetic moments and electric field gradient (efg) axes in the brownmillerite-type strontium ferrite structure for both iron sublattices where the efg tensor is not axially symmetric, the Mössbauer spectra of powdered and oriented single-crystal Sr{sub 2}Fe{sub 2}O{sub 5} were analyzed by solving the complete Hamiltonian for hyperfine interactions in the excited and ground states of the {sup 57}Fe nuclei. The magnetic moments of both octahedrally and tetrahedrally coordinated iron cations lie on the ac-plane of the orthorhombic unit cell and are parallel to the shortest c-axis, whilst the main efg axes are parallel to the longest crystallographic axis, b. This orientation is similar to that in Ca{sub 2}Fe{sub 2}O{sub 5}, in spite of the structural differences of strontium and calcium ferrite brownmillerites at low temperatures. - Graphical abstract: Mössbauer spectra of powdered and oriented single-crystal Sr{sub 2}Fe{sub 2}O{sub 5}, analyzed by solving the complete Hamiltonian for hyperfine interactions in the excited and ground states of the {sup 57}Fe nuclei, show that the magnetic moments of both octahedrally and tetrahedrally coordinated iron cations are parallel to the shortest c-axis of the orthorhombic brownmillerite unit cell .
