In the present study, iron-containing pyrochlores of the A 2 FeBO 7 type (where A=Y, Gd, Eu and Dy; B=Sb and Nb) were synthesized by solid-state reaction of precursor oxides. The compounds were structurally and magnetically characterized by X-ray diffraction, Mössbauer spectroscopy and magnetic measurements. The results revealed that the crystallographic structures and magnetic properties depend, basically, on the type of B atoms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
