Abstract
Ti1-xFexO2 and Ti1-2xFexNbxO2 (x=0.0,0.01) powders were synthesized by the sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction patterns showed a pure anatase single phase and no different peaks other than anatase titanium dioxide were observed. Moumlssbauer spectra of all samples showed that the magnetically ordered and paramagnetic phases coexisted in all temperature ranges (4.2-295 K), where Fe is not metallic but in the +3 state substituting for Ti. Although the Fe/Nb co-doped samples showed more magnetically ordered phase than Fe-single-doped samples with the same amount of Fe ions in 295 K spectra, the smaller magnetic moments were observed in Fe/Nb co-doped samples. This result suggests that the Nb co-doping decreases the ferromagnetic contribution of Fe ions in TiO2 and increases the antiferromagnetic contribution
