Abstract

Mössbauer spectra of polycrystalline ε-57FeOOH were measured up to 14.6 GPa at room temperature using the energy-domain synchrotron 57Fe Mössbauer source at BL11XU in SPring-8. Based on measurements with/without an external magnetic field, ε-FeOOH appears to be antiferromagnetic at ambient pressure and temperature. On compression, the quadrupole shift 2ε shifted from negative to positive at ?8 GPa, which is consistent with a magnetic spin rotation. Previous XRD studies did not detect any transitions at this pressure; thus we infer the change in 2ε to be the third pressure-induced transition without major structural change in addition to the hydrogen-bond symmetrization and electronic spin transition.Mössbauer spectra of polycrystalline ε-57FeOOH were measured up to 14.6 GPa at room temperature using the energy-domain synchrotron 57Fe Mössbauer source at BL11XU in SPring-8.
