Study of hyperfine interactions in spinel cobalt ferrite CoFe2O4 doped with Hf, Lu, and Yb using Mössbauer spectroscopy and perturbed γ-γ angular correlation by Viktor M. Vakhtel, Atanas I. Velichkov, Dimitar V. Karaivanov, Maria M. Milanova, Yuri G. Segal, Nargiza Temerbulatova, Dmitry V. Filosofov, Martin P. Tsvetkov

“…According to the MS data, Hf and Lu do not lead to significant changes in the HFI parameters in the tetrahedral sites (“Sextet 1”), but have a significantly different effect on the same parameters in the octahedral sites (“Sextet 2”). A similar pattern was observed using the PAC method: replacing Hf with Lu did not reveal any changes in the HFI parameters in one of the sites (the octahedral site), but indicated a significant change in the other site …”
