X-ray spectral and Mossbauer investigations of structure defects and the degree of inversion of manganese-zinc ferrites

X-ray and Mossbauer spectroscopy is used to investigate the effect of vacuum cooling on the valence of cations of manganese and iron, nonstoichiometry and the degree of inversion of manganese-zinc ferrites. The dependence of the valency of the cations of manganese and iron, the degree of inversion, and the degree of nonstoichiometry on the partial pressure of oxygen produced in the cooling stage is established. An interrelationship is found between the defects and the degree of inversion of manganese-zinc ferrites.
