Abstract

Spinel-related Al-substituted Li_0.5Fe_2.5O₄ has been synthesized by sintering a mixture of Al-substituted corundum-related α-Fe₂O₃ and Li₂CO₃ at 700 °C which is ca. 450-500 °C lower than the temperatures normally used to prepare the material by conventional ceramic methods. The cation distribution in the material was investigated with X-ray diffraction, Mössbauer spectroscopy and magnetic measurements. Rietveld refinement of the X-ray diffraction data shows the Al³⁺ ions to substitute for both Fe ³⁺ and Li⁺ ions on octahedral B-sites while the displaced Li⁺ ions substitute for Fe³⁺ ones at tetrahedral A-sites. This structural model is consistent with Mössbauer and magnetic data.
