Abstract
In this work, Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction were used to determine the precision values of the hyperfine interaction parameters and the crystal structure of FeBO3 single crystals in a wide temperature range, including the region of magnetic phase transitions (TN). A theoretical model has been developed to describe nuclear resonance transitions in iron atoms in the approximation of a combined magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole hyperfine interaction. A technique for correcting the Mössbauer spectra, considering the effective thickness of the absorber, has also been elaborated.It is shown that the appearance of two additional resonance lines in the hyperfine structure significantly affects the shape of the FeBO3 spectra near the N é el temperature (ТN). The characteristic Debye temperatures for Fe and B cations in the iron borate structure have been determined. The developed technique and the results obtained are extremely important for the use of FeBO3 crystals in new high-tech branches of science and technology, including optoelectronics and synchrotron technologies.
