Abstract

AbstractLithium‐chromium ferrites Li0.5Fe2.5–xCrxO4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1.55) were studied using X‐ray diffraction, magnetization measurements and Mössbauer spectroscopy. X‐ray diffraction patterns show that all samples have cubic spinel structure. The temperature dependent magnetic measurements revealed that a magnetic compensation point appears at chromium concentration x = 1.05, 1.25 and 1.55. Moreover, it was observed that the Curie temperature TC decreases and approaches the compensation temperature TK as Cr3+ substitution for Fe3+ increases. The magnetization data at all concentrations are discussed in the light of Néel's molecular field model taking into account the cation distributions obtained using the analysis of Mössbauer spectra.
