Magnetic structure of zinc-substituted magnetite atT=4.2K

Abstract
The magnetic structure of ZnxFe3xO4(0<~x<~0.8) has been investigated by Fe57 Mössbauer spectroscopy at T=4.2 K. A localized canting model that considers the configurational details of the neighbors has been developed for the analyses of the spectral data. The magnetization predicted for the compounds with canted structures agrees reasonably well with the values determined by experiment.
