Electron Hopping and Temperature Dependent Oxidation States of Iron in Ilvaite Studied by Mössbauer Effect

Abstract
The Mössbauer spectrum of ilvaite was measured between 115 K and 898 K, and the energy dispersive X-ray powder pattern was measured between 300 K and 1 123 K. Below 500 K the Mössbauer spectrum varies strongly with temperature while the X-ray spectrum remains unchanged. The results are interpreted by electron exchange between nearly identical Fe-sites in ilvaite.
