Crystal growth, X-ray diffraction characterization, and Mössbauer spectroscopy of FeIn2S4-In2S3 solid solutions
Source abstract
Abstract
Crystals of (FeIn2S4)1 − x (In2S3) x solid solutions consisting of large blocks have been grown by directional solidification (horizontal Bridgman process). FeIn2S4, In2S3, and the solid solutions are shown to crystallize in the spinel structure. The composition dependence of their unit-cell parameter a follows Vegard's law. The local states of the Fe ions in the solid solutions have been studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy in a transmission geometry.
