Abstract
A study of the structural characteristics of the composites Pb(Fe0.5Nb0.5)O-3(PFN) (x) -Cr0.75Fe1.25O3(CRFO)(100-x) (x = 0
(CRFO100), 10, 50, 90, 100) was performed in this work. The compounds
PFN100 and CRFO100 were prepared by conventional solid-state method and
investigated by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy
(SEM), and Fe-57 Mossbauer Spectroscopy techniques. The X-ray analysis
shows that PFN100 is tetragonal and the CRFO100 phase has a trigonal
symmetry. The refinement of all the composites was also performed and
discussed in this paper. The Mossbauer spectrum for the composite
samples shows a paramagnetic doublet and a sextet probably assigned to a
magnetic phase associated to Fe+3. For the sample PFN100, only a magnetic field of 49.5 T (isomer shift (delta) = 0.21 mm/s) was
detected. For the composite sample, the delta and delta are typical of
Fe ions at sites of octahedral coordination.
