Abstract

It has been established that the mechanism of formation of new crystalline structures can be studied by determining the variation of the most probable crystallite size as a function of the ratio between the amounts of the starting phases. It is shown that magnesium and nickel ferrites with spinel structures form on the bases of the thermally-more-stable magnesium and nickel oxide lattices, with preferential diffusion of iron cations. To the initial stages of formation of these ferrites there will correspond a nonstoichiometric solid solution of increased divalent cation concentration. The crystal lattices of such spinel solid solutions are deficient in oxygen and contain interstitial cations.
