Abstract
Hyperfine interactions on 57Fe nuclei in cubic perovskite Bi0.75Sr0.25FeO3 − y in the temperature range 87–700 K are studied using Mössbauer spectroscopy. The temperature of the magnetic phase transition (the Neel point T N ) of bismuth ferrite is T N = 670(3) K. Below T N , the experimental spectra demonstrate a partially resolved magnetic hyperfine structure with broadened lines, which is well described by superposition of four sextets. The values of the hyperfine magnetic field B and the isomer shift δ at room temperature initiated that all iron ions are in the trivalent state. Here, three sextets with the equal isomer shifts (δ1 ≈ δ2 ≈ δ3 = 0.38 mm/s correspond to the iron ions in the octahedral oxygen environment; in the fourth sextet, the iron ions are in the square-pyramidal environment (δ3 = 0.25 mm/s).
