Mössbauer Effect Study of the Cluster Distribution in the Spin Glass θ-Me0.35V2O5 (Me=Fe, A1)

Industrial Applications of the Mössbauer Effect

Abstract

Mössbauer data for the Vanadium oxide bronzes, 0-Fe0.35V2O5 and 0-A10.26Fe0.09V2O5 reveal a randomly oriented spin arrangement with only weak indirect exchange interaction possibly stimulating a spin-glass like order. Below 18K the onset of magnetic order shows up as a broadened magnetic hyperfine patterns. Two sextets are observed below 6K. The Mössbauer spectra can be fit assuming superparamagnetic relaxation of a Cluster magnetization. Our relaxation model is appropriate for a flipping of the hyperfine field into a reversed direction. From the resolved spectra, it is apparent that Clusters with different relaxation frequencies of 4.0 and 0.9MHz and different hyperfine fields of 45.0 and 38.5 Tesla are present. The Cluster distribution function was derived from the temperature dependence of the relative intensity of the doublets.
