Abstract

The broadening of the Mössbauer lines of microcrystalline goethite above the superferromagnetic transition temperature has been analyzed. The results show that the temperature dependence of the relaxation time is in accordance with the Vogel-Fulcher law. This indicates that the magnetic interaction among the crystallites is significant, in accordance with the results of previous studies at lower temperatures.
