The crystallographic properties of the polycrystalline materials $Fe_{1+X}Eu_{1-X}O_{3}$(X = -0.06, 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4) have been studied by the methods of X-ray diffraction and $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy. The results showed that the samples with the composition range of $0.2{\leq}x{\leq}0.3$ had the garnet crystal phase, while those with $-0.06{\leq}x{\leq}0.0$ had the orthoferrite phase. However, with the tendency for the orthoferrite phase to convert into the trigonal phase via garnet phase as increasing the composition x, the orthoferrite-garnet and garnet-trigonal phase coexisted dominantly in the range of 0.0 < x < 0.2 and $0.4{\geq}x$, respectively. The analyzed results of $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectrum indicated existence of some vacancies in the d-site of garnet phase, which can be related to the change of intensity in X-ray diffraction patterns.

Crystallographic and magnetic properties of the Mn-doped orthoferrite LaFe$_{1-x}$Mn$_{x}$ O$_3$(0.0$\leq$x$\leq$O.4) system have been investigated by means of x-ray diffractometry, M ssbauer spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer and super-conducting quantum interference device. The structure of the system was found to be orthorhombic distorted perovskite structure. At room temperature, the M ssbauer spectra for x=0.0 consists of one Zeeman sextets from Fe$^{3+}$ ions at octahedral sites. The M ssbauer spectra of two Zeeman sextets (x$\leq$0.1) change one Zeeman sextets and a paramagnetic doublet (x=0.4). The saturation magnetization increases but the coercivity decreases with increasing x in LaFe$_{1-x}$Mn$_{x}$ O$_3$.

The samples were prepared from six parasite. We found that the samples were composed of a typical olivine, pyroxene, ilmenite, $SiO_2$, anorite and anorthoclase, M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectrum of the most scoria samples are shown doublets and sextets of olivine, doublets of pyroxene, ilmenite and silicate minerals. And the valence states of Fe ion of the scoria samples in this area are chiefly 3+ charge state and a little 2+ charge state.

The microscopic physical properties of nonstoichiometric garnet EuxFe2-xO3 (x=0.8 and 0.7) have been studied by the methods of X-ray diffraction at room temperature and M ssbauer spectroscopy within the temeperature range of 12-560 K. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the samples show coexistence of dominant garnet and a small portion of unknown crystal phase. But the M ssbauer spectra for the sample of EF08 and EF07 near N el temperature determined to be equally 549$\pm$5K show that there are no any other extra crystal phases within the experimental error. The results of which the temperature dependence of M ssbauer parameters was anlyzed by the spin-wave theory and Debye model are in good agreement with the fact that the sample of EF08 has some vacancies at a-and/or d-sites.

We have prepared $MnFe_2O_4$ nanoparticles with polyol method. The crystallographic and magnetic properties were measured by using X-ray diffraction(XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM) and $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy. The high resolution transmission electron microscope(HRTEM) shows uniform nanoparticle-sizes with $6{\sim}8$ nm. The crystal structure is found to be single-phase cubic spinel with space group of Fd3m. The lattice constant of $MnFe_2O_4$ nanparticles is determined to be $8.418{\pm}0.001{\AA}$. $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectrum of $MnFe_2O_4$ nanparticles at room temperature(RT) shows a superparamagnetic behavior. In VSM analysis, the diagnosis of the superparamagnetic behavior is also shown in hysteresis loop at RT. $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectrum at 4.2K shows that the well developed two sextets are with different hyperfine field $H_{hfA}=498$(A-site) and $H_{hfB}=521$(B-site) kOe.

The detailed crystal chemistry of ilmenite from the Hadong massif was studied by the EPMA, M ssbauer spectroscopy, and Rietveld structural refinement using X-ray powder diffraction data. The ilmenite-bearing anorthosite shows complicated mineral assemblage which consists of plagioclase, clinopyroxene, hornblende, biotite, chlorite, apatite, allanite, and zircon. Anorthite is andesine in composition (Ab 28-57), and clinopyroxene drops in ferro-hypersthene (Fs 62-70). Ilmenite is trigonal symmetry with R space group, whose structure shows the alternation of Fe2+ (M1 site) octahedral layer and Ti (M2 site) layer along c axis. M ssbauer spectroscopy indicates that there are three doubles which assigned to couple of Fe2+($\delta$=0.812, 0.890mm/sec) and one Fe3+($\delta$=0.303mm/sec) in octahedral sites. Their Fe3+/$\Sigma$Fe is 0.065 and chemical formula is established as Fe2+0.94Fe3+0.07Ti0.97O3 using both EPMA and M ssbauer analysis. Rietveld structural refinement reveals that site occupancies of Fe in M1 and Ti in M2 are 91.2% and 89.4%, respectively. This implies that Ti and Fe2+ are alternatively occupy M1 and M2 sites. In addition, smaller M2 site is more preferable to Fe3+ occupancy over M1.

Iron-oxide nanopowders were synthesized by a pulsed wire evaporation (PWE) in various ambient gas conditions. SEM measurement indicates that the spherical iron nanoparticles are about 50 nm in diameter. The phase analysis for the produced iron-oxide powders was systematically investigated by using $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ spectra and the results show that classified phases of $Fe_2O_3$ and $Fe_3O_4$ can be controlled by regulating the oxygen concentration in the mixed gas during the PWE process. A quadrupole line on the center of $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ spectrum represents the superparamagnetic phase of 12 % from ${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$ phase.

This study examined the crystallographic and magnetic properties of vanadium-substituted lithium cobalt titanium ferrite, $Li_{0.7}Co_{0.2}Ti_{0.2}V_{0.2}Fe_{1.7}O_4$. Ferrite was synthesized using a conventional ceramic method. The samples annealed below $1040^{\circ}C$ showed X-ray diffraction peaks for spinel and other phases. However, the sample annealed above $1040^{\circ}C$ showed a single spinel phase. The lattice constant of the sample was $8.351\;{\AA}$, which was relatively unaffected by vanadium-substitution. The average grain size after vanadium-substitution was $13.90\;{\mu}m$, as determined by scanning electron microscopy. The M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectrum could be fitted to two Zeeman sextets, which is the typical spinel ferrite spectra of $Fe^{3+}$ with A and B sites, and one doublet. From the absorption area ratio of the M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectrum, the cation distribution was found to be ($Co_{0.2}V_{0.2}Fe_{0.6})[Li_{0.7}Ti_{0.2}Fe_{1.1}]O_4$. Vibrating sample magnetometry revealed a saturation magnetization and coercivity of 36.9 emu/g and 88.6 Oe, respectively, which were decreased by vanadium-substitution.
