Abstract
We have studied the temperature dependent magnetic properties and crystalline phase transitionn in small amount Fe doped nickel chromite. The Crystalline structure of NiCr1.7Fe0.3O4 is spinel cubic (Fd-3m) structure with a lattice constant a0=8.317Å at room temperature. The magnetic N'eeltemperature (TN)of the Fe doped nickel chromite sample is determined to be 250 K. The Mëssbauer spectra exhibit that there are two magnetic phases with the two different sites for the Cr3+ions. The spectrum at 4.2 K is fitted to two magnetic components of the magnetic hyperfine fields Hhl=496 and 485 kOe. From the spectrum at 295 K, the electric quadrupole splittings are observed with large values of 0.49 and 0.50 mm/s, respectively. The values of the isomer shifts at all temperature ranges show that the Fe ions are ferric states. We are suggested that the dynamic Jahn-Teller distortion and anisotropic magnetic relaxation effects due to the crystalline phase transition.
