Abstract

The crystal structure of LiNi0.99 F57e0.01 PO4 compound has been determined to be orthorhombic by Rietveld refinement method. Temperature dependence of magnetization M shows an anomalous antiferromagnetic behavior. A sudden change in both the magnitude of magnetic hyperfine field and its slope below 11 K suggests that magnetic phase transition related to the spin ordering takes place abruptly. From the result of Mössbauer measurement, it is shown that a strong electric crystalline field of octahedral symmetry including the contribution of spin-orbit coupling and magnetic hyperfine field by space-modulated spin structure is acted to the sites of Fe2+ ions simultaneously at low temperature.
