“…Iron (III) occupancy of both A and B-sites in nanocrystalline ZnFe 2 O 4 has been extensively proved by Mössbauer spectroscopy [1,2,6,7,8], nuclear magnetic resonance [5], neutron diffraction [3], x-ray absorption [9,10,11,12], and indirectly throughout magnetic measurements [2,3,4,13,14]. To a much lesser extend, Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) studies at Zn K-edge suggest that Zn ions are transferred from its equilibrium position (sites A) to B-sites when the particle size decreases [9,10,11].…”
