Abstract

The identification by 57Fe internal field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of hyperfine fields at four Fe sites in the (average) tetragonal unit cell of vacancy-ordered γ-Fe2O3 (maghemite) is reported. The effects of vacancy redistribution due to annealing the partially vacancy-ordered form has been observed in the 57Fe lineshape. In addition, the reduction of the particle size of the vacancy-ordered form has been observed to gradually eliminate the vacancy ordering and then to cause a transition from ferrimagnetism to superparamagnetism.
