Abstract

Mössbauer and magnetic measurements have been performed at various temperatures between 1.5K and 300K on a natural hedenbergite Ca0.96 Mg0.19 Fe0.82Mn0.02Si2O6. The magnetic measurements are consistent with a ferromagnetic alignment of the Fe2+ moments inside each zig-zag M1 chain and antiferromagnetic alignment of the moments of neighbouring chains. Above TN (Mössbauer)=29±2K, a single quadrupole doublet attributed to Fe2+ in the M1 sites is observed. At 4.2K, the Mössbauer spectra can be accounted for by a discrete distribution of six hyperfine field components which can be related to all the possible Fe2+−Mg2+ configurations up to second cation neighbours surrounding a central57Fe2+ probe.
