Abstract
Stability of the properties of magnetite particles in novel medicinal magnetic ointments of multipurpose application was studied using Mössbauer spectroscopy. Comparative analysis of the results obtained by model fitting of57Fe nuclei spectra with those known for the system Fe3O4-γ-Fe2O3 allowed to identify the phase composition of the particles. This composition, as well as that of the initial pure component in the form of a highly dispersed fraction (∼100 Å), differs noticeably from the stoichiometric one. Despite their small sizes, the particles exhibit no superparamagnetism (in the temperature range from 95 to 300 K). Radiative sterilization of the ointments has no effect on the magnetic component composition.
