Abstract
Iron oxide magnetite (Fe3O4) should be a reasonable analog for conception and understanding of the magnetic properties of iron sulfide greigite (Fe3S4)—one of the most required magnetic materials having numerous applications but being far from the complete understanding now. We present here a comparative study of the Mössbauer effect (ME) and the magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy of Fe3O4 and Fe3S4 nanoparticles. The ME spectrum parameters of Fe3S4 are shown to distinguish strongly from that of Fe3O4, and the MCD spectrum shapes are shown to be absolutely different for two compounds. To clarify the origin of the Fe3S4 MCD spectrum we have performed ab initio band structure calculations and identified the MCD spectrum features with the transitions between calculated energy states.
