  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Molecular Spectroscopy—Experiment and Theory

Part of the book series: Challenges and Advances in Computational Chemistry and Physics ((COCH,volume 26))

Abstract

Magnetoelectrics have been one of the most widely studied materials in recent years. They are very interesting from the fundamental point of view due to joining magnetic and electric orderings in the same phase, which tends to exclude each other. On the other hand, the orderings are coupled each other what makes them promising material to be applied in many electronic devices. This phenomenon is strongly related to the structure and its changes which can be tested by Mössbauer spectroscopy. In the chapter, we look closer to this technique in application to magnetoelectric perovskite solid solutions of BiFeO3–Pb(Fe0.5Nb0.5)O3. The possibility of confirmation of random cation distribution, magnetic ordering temperature, and iron magnetic properties will be presented and discussed. The presented experimental hyperfine interaction parameters will be compared to those theoretically calculated using ab initio methods.
