Abstract

The sign and magnitude of the antimony hyperfine field has been measured in Sb-substituted nickel ferrite using the $^{121}\mathrm{Sb}$ M\"ossbauer effect. We obtain a value of -311 \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{} 4 kG for this field at 100 K. This result is compared with results obtained for Sn in yttrium iron garnet and, among the possible mechanisms, $3d\ensuremath{-}5s$ covalent spin transfer appears to make the predominant contribution to the hyperfine field.
