The mixed ferrite $Ni_{x}Co_{1-x}Fe_{2}O_{4}$ have been investigated by X-ray and $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectoscpy. From the results of X-ray diffraction measurement the structure for this system is spinel, and the lattice constant is in accord with Vegard's law. $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectra of $Ni_{x}Co_{1-x}Fe_{2}O_{4}$ have been taken at various temperature ranging from 13 to 800 K. The isomer shifts indicate that the valence states of the irons at both A(tetrahedral) and B(octahedral) sithe are found to be in ferric high-spin states. The variation of magnetic hyperfine fields at the A and B sites are explained on the basis on A-B and B-B supertransferred hyperfine interactions. It is found that Debye temperatures for the A and B sites of $CoFe_{2}O_{4}$ and $NiFe_{2}O_{4}$ are found to be ${\theta}_{A}=734{\pm}5K,\;{\theta}_{B}=248{\pm}5K,\;and\;{\theta}_{A}=378{\pm}5K,\;{\theta}_{B}=357{\pm}5K$, respectively. Atomic migration of $Ni_{0.3}Co_{0.7}Fe_{2}O_{4}$ starts near 450 K and increases rapidly with increasing temperature to such a degree that 61 % of the ferric ions at the A site have moved over to the B site by 700 K.

The hexagonal $HoMn_{1-x}-Fe_xO_3$(x=0.00, 0.05) thin films were prepared using pulsed laser deposition(PLD) method on $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrate. The microstructure and magnetic properties have been studied by x-ray diffraction(XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFH), scanning electron microscope(SEM:), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), and conversion electron $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy(CEMS). From the analysis of the x-ray diffraction patterns, the crystal structure for all films was found to be a hexagonal($P6_3cm$), which was preferentially grown along(110) direction. The lattice constant $c_0$ of the film with x=0.05 was close to that of single crystal, whereas lattice constant $a_0$ with respect to single crystal shows a slight decrease. This difference of lattice parameters between film and single crystal was caused by the lattice mismatch between the film and $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrate. Conversion electron $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectrum of $HoMn_{0.95}Fe_{0.05}O_3$ thin film shows an asymmetry doublet absorption ratio at room temperature, which is due to the oriented direction of crystallographic domains. This is corresponding with analysis of x-ray diffraction. The quadrupole splitting(${\Delta}E_Q$) at room temperature is found to be $1.62{\pm}0.01mm/s$. This large ${\Delta}E_Q$ was caused by asymmetry environment surrounding Fe ion.

The crystallographic and magnetic properties of the ferrimagnetic $CoFe_{1.9}Ga_{0.1}O_4$ have been studied by X-ray, M$\"{o}$ssbauer measurements. The crystal structure is found to be inverse spinel structure with the lattice constant $a_0=8.386{\pm}0.005{\AA}$. M$\"{o}$ssbauer spectra of $CoFe_{1.9}Ga_{0.1}O_4$ have been taken at various temperatures ranging from 13 to 840 K. The isomer shifts indicate that the valence states of the Fe ions for tetrahedral (A) and octahedral (B) sites have ferric character. Debye temperatures for the A and B sites are found to be 882$\pm$5 K and 209$\pm$5 K, respectively. Atomic migration form the A to the B sites starts near 350 K and increases rapidly with increasing temperature to such a degree that 73% of the ferric ions at the A sites have moved over to the B sites by 700 K. by 700 K.

Nano-sized nickel substituted cobalt ferrite powders, $Ni_xCo_{1-x}Fe_2O_4$ ($0.0{\leq}x{\leq}1.0$), were fabricated by the sol-gel method, and their crystallographic and magnetic properties were studied. All the ferrite powders showed a single spinel structure, and behaved ferrimagnetically. When the nickel substitution was increased, the lattice constants and the sizes of particles of the ferrite powders decreased. The M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer absorption spectra of $Ni_xCo_{1-x}Fe_2O_4$ ferrite powders could be fitted with two six-line subspectra, which were assigned to a tetrahedral A-site and octahedral B-sites of a typical spinel crystal structure. The increase in values of the magnetic hyperfine fields indicated that the superexchange interaction was stronger, with the increased nickel concentration in $Ni_xCo_{1-x}Fe_2O_4$. This could be explained using the cation distribution, which can be written as, $(Co_{0.28-0.28x}Fe_{0.72+0.28x})[Ni_xCo_{0.72-0.72x}Fe_{1.28-0.28x}]O_4$. The two values of the saturation magnetization and the coercivity decreased, as the rate of nickel substitution was increased. These decreases could be explained using the cation distribution, the magnetic moment, and the magneto crystalline anisotropy constant of the substituted ions.

The properties of magnetic suppositories used in medicine has been tested with M ssbauer spectroscopy methods. The experiments were carried out on magnetic rectal suppositories containing parmadine and fine-dispersed ferrite powder BaO.nFe$_2$O$_3$as a magnetic filler. According to the data on the value of effective magnetic field on $^{57}$ Fe nuclei in ferrite magnetic sublattices, the stoichiometric n-number equals approximately 5.5; this vague corresponds to the composition range of optimal magnetic properties.

The origin for the charge disproportionation (CD) transition in polycrystalline $La_{1/3}Sr_{2/3}FeO_{2.96}$ was examined using X-ray diffraction and the external field $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ssbauer spectroscopy. In order to see how the external magnetic field affects the CD state above its transition temperature, an external magnetic field of up to 6 T was applied either parallel or perpendicular to the $\gamma-ray$ direction with the sample temperature fixed at 225 K, which was above the CD transition temperature. Without an external magnetic field, a completely paramagnetic singlet was obtained in the temperature range of the averaged valence state above the transition temperature, which was interpreted as coming from the average valence $Fe^{3.6+}$. In the longitudinal geometry, a magnetic Zeeman with its intensity ratio 3:0:1:1:0:3 is superimposed to the central singlet. In the transverse geometry, however, the central singlet disappears and only a magnetic component with its intensity ratio 3:4:1:1:4:3 emerges. The existence of a singlet is understood as an evidence of the fast electron-transfer among Fe ions. Since the singlet still exists under the magnetic field, the application of an external field has little effect on the conduction mechanism of hopping electrons.

$Ni_{0.9}Zn_{0.1}Fe_2O_4$ nanoparticles have been prepared by a sol-gel method. The structural and magnetic properties have been investigated by DTA/TGA, XRD, SEM, and $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy, VSM. $Ni_{0.9}Zn_{0.1}Fe_2O_4$ powder that was annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ has spinel structure and behaved superparamagnetically. The estimated size of superparammagnetic Ni-Zn ferrite nanoparticle is around 10 nm. The hyperfine fields at 13 K for the A and B patterns were found to be 533 and 507 kOe, respectively. The blocking temperature ($T_B$) of superparammagnetic $Ni_{0.9}Zn_{0.1}Fe_2O_4$ nanoparticle is about 250 K. The magnetic anisotropy constant and relaxation time constant of $Ni_{0.9}Zn_{0.1}Fe_2O_4$ nanoparticle were calculated to be $1.6\times10^6\;ergs/cm^3$ and ${\tau}_0=5.0{\times}10^{-13}$ s, respectively. Also, Temperature increased up to $43^{\circ}C$ within 10 minutes under AC magnetic field of 7 MHz. It is considered that $Ni_{0.9}Zn_{0.1}Fe_2O_4$ powder that was annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ is available for biomedicine application such as hyperthermia, drug delivery system and contrast agents in MRI.

To establish the coating conditions for $^{57}Co$, non-radioactive Co ions are dissolved in an acid solution and electroplated on to a copper plate. Then, the thermal diffusion of electroplated Co into a copper matrix was studied to apply a $^{57}Co$ $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ source. Nanocrystalline Co particles were coated on a Cu substrate using DC electro-deposition at a pH of 1.89 to 5 and $20{\sim}30mA/cm^2$. The average grain size was up to 54 nm as the pH increased to 5. The second phase of Co-oxide was formatted as the pH was increased above 4. The diffusion degree was evaluated by mapping using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The influence of different annealing conditions was investigated. The diffusion depth of Co depends on the annealing temperature and time. The results obtained confirm that the deposited Co diffused almost completely into a copper matrix without substantial loss at an annealing temperature of $900^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours.

Ba-Ferrite single crystals were prepared and characterized by X-ray, SEM and Mossbauer spectroscopy. The single crystal layers was cut in the c-axis and radiated to the surface by ${\gamma}-rays$ for Mossbauer spectroscopy. We found out that the spin states in Fe atoms were parallel to the ${\gamma}-rays$ direction. The temperature dependence of the hyperfine field is almost similar to that of powder samples. The crystal structure is a Magnetoplumbite without any other phases and the lattice parameters are found out with $a_0=5.892{\AA},\;b_0=5.892{\AA},\;c_0=23.198{\AA}$. $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectrum in single crystal have 5 sets off absorption lines in each Fe site when the ${\gamma}-rays$ have the same radiation direction with the c-axis in the crystal, which mean that the whole crystal bulk formed only one crystal and same spin direction. The hysteresis curve shows the saturation moment and coercive force of 70.71 emu/g and 320 Oe respectively.
