Abstract
The effective-field parameters at nuclei in the cubic normal spinel Fe have been investigated in the temperature range from 60 to 298°K, using the Mössbauer effect. A nonzero quadrupole interaction appears below the effective-magnetic-field transition temperature (≈172°K). The values of the effective internal magnetic field , the electric field gradient, and the relative orientation of H with respect to the principal axes of the electric-field-gradient tensor (EFG) are determined as a function of temperature; e.g., at 77°K, kG, mm/sec, and the asymmetry parameter . Predictions based on the theory of a magnetically induced quadrupole interaction do not explain the observed spectra. Assuming near the critical point, gives a better fit to the experimental data than .
