Mössbauer and magnetic studies of the ternary compound FeIn2Se4

Abstract

Single crystals of the ternary compound FeIn 2 Se 4 are grown by directional crystallization of the melt. The composition and structure of the single crystals are determined. The local states of iron ions in this compound are studied by nuclear γ resonance spectroscopy in transmission configuration. The temperature and field dependences of a specific magnetic moment for the ternary compound FeIn 2 Se 4 are measured in the temperature range 4-310 K in magnetic fields of 0-140 kOe. The reasons and mechanisms for magnetic state formation in single crystals of the obtained compound are discussed.

Raman scattering investigation of MnxFe1−xIn2S4 solid solutions

“…[18], it was shown that in the FeIn 2 S 4 eMnIn 2 S 4 system, a continuous series of alloys was formed and the structure of the Mn x Fe 1Àx In 2 S 4 alloys was established. Recently, studies of the optical [19] and magnetic properties [20] of the Mn x Fe 1Àx In 2 S 4 alloys as well as In(Al)/(FeIn 2 S 4 ) x (MnIn 2 S 4 ) 1Àx photosensitive structures [21] were reported, activation energies of direct and indirect band-to-band transitions and their variation with composition for the crystals studied was determined.…”
