Abstract
A detail Mössbauer analysis has been performed on polycrystalline samples of hexagonal ferrites with composition BaFe12-x In x O19 (0≦x≦4) and BaFe12-x ScxO19 (0≦x≦3). The dependence on composition of the distribution of metallic cations among the five sublattices of the structure has been determined: these data confirm the strong preference of Sc and In ions for the sites belonging to the R block.
As a consequence iron ions located in the main spin up sublattice (12k) with different number of neighbouring Fe3+ ions display different temperature dependences of the magnetization. The occurrence of non-collinear spin configurations, even for very low degrees of substitution of iron, has also been evidenced.
