The crystallographic and magnetic properties of $KFeO_2$ powder prepared by ball-mill method, have been studied by x-ray diffraction(XRD), $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM) measurements. The crystal structure of $KFeO_2$ powder at room temperature is determined to be an orthorhombic structure of Pbca with its lattice constants $a_0=5.557{\AA},\;b_0=11.227{\AA},\;c_0=15.890{\AA}$ by Rietveld refinement. $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectra of $KFeO_2$ were taken at various temperatures ranging from 4.2 to 818 K. The magnetic hyperfine field and isomer shift value at 4.2 K and RT were 519 kOe, 489 kOe and 0.19 mm/s, 0.05 mm/s respectively. The average hyperfine field $H_{hf}(T)$ of the $KFeO_2$ shows a temperature dependence of $[H_{hf}(T)-H_{hf}(0)]/H_{hf}(0)=-0.36(T/T_N)^{5/2}$ for $T/T_N$<0.7, indicative of spin-wave excitation.

$Ni_{0.65}Zn_{0.35}Cu_{0.1}Fe{1.9}O_4$ has been studied with Mossbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure is found to be a cubic spinel with the lattice constant $a_0=8.390{\AA}$. Mossbauer spectra of $Ni_{0.65}Zn_{0.35}Cu_{0.1}Fe{1.9}O_4$ has been taken at various temperatures ranging from 12 K to 705 K. The isomer shift indicates that iron ions are ferric at tetrahedral [A] and octahedral sites [B], respectively. The Neel temperature is determined to be $T_N=705\;K$. As the temperature increases toward $T_N$ a systematic line broadening effect in the Mossbauer spectrum is observed and interpreted to originate from different temperature dependencies of the magnetic hyperfine fields at various iron sites. The quadrupole splitting just on $T_N$ is 0.41 mm/s whereas the quadrupole shift below $T_N$ vanishes. This implies that the orientation of the magnetic hyperfine field with respect to be principal axes of the electric field gradient is random.

The potential energy surfaces (PESs) for the primary and secondary dissociations of the phenylarsane molecular ion (1a) were determined from the quantum chemical calculations using the G3(MP2)//B3LYP method. Several pathways for the loss of $H{\cdot}$ were determined and occurred though rearrangements as well as through direct bond cleavages. The kinetic analysis based on the PES for the primary dissociation showed that the loss of $H_2$ was more favored than the loss of $H{\cdot}$, but the $H{\cdot}$. loss competed with the $H_2$ loss at high energies. The bicyclic isomer, 7-arsa-norcaradiene radical cation, was formed through the 1,2 shift of an $\alpha$-H of 1a and played an important role as an intermediate for the further rearrangements in the loss of $H{\cdot}$ and the losses of $As{\cdot}$ and AsH. The reaction pathways for the formation of the major products in the secondary dissociations of $[M-H]^+$ and $[M-H_2]^{+\cdot}$. were examined. The theoretical prediction explained the previous experimental results for the dissociation at high energies but not the dissociation at low energies.

The nonstoichiometric perovskite solid solutions of the $Nd_{1-x}Sr_xFeO_{3-y}$ system for the compositions of x=0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.00 have been prepared at $1150^{\circ}C$ in the air pressure. The compound of x=0.00, NdFe$O_{3.0}$, contains only $Fe^{3+}$ ion in octahedral site and the others involves the mixed valence state between $Fe^{3+}$ and $Fe^{4+}$ ions. The mole ratio of $Fe^{4+}$ ion or the ${\tau}$-value increases steadily with the x-value and then is maximized at the compositionof x= 1.00. The nonstoichiometric chemical formulas of the system are formulated from the x, ${\tau}$ and y values. From the Mossbauer spectroscopy, the isomer shift of $Fe^{3+}$ ion decreases with the increasing x-value, which is induced by the electron transfer between the$Fe^{3+}$ and $Fe^{4+}$ ions. The transfer is made possible by the indirect interaction between $Fe^{3+}$ and$Fe^{4+}$ ions via the oxygen ion. The eg electrons of the$Fe^{3+}$ ions are delocalized over all the Fe ions. Due to the electron transfer, the activation energy of electrical conductivity is decrease with the increasing amount of $Fe^{4+}$ ion.

The crystal structure and magnetic properties of a new solid solution type ferrite $(Fe_2O_3)_5-(Al_2O_3)_{3.4}-(Ga_2O_3)_{0.6}-SiO$ were investigated using X-ray diffraction and M$\"{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy. The results of the X-ray diffraction pattern indicated that the crystal structure of the sample appears to be a cubic spinel type structure. The lattice constant (a = 8.317 ${\AA}$) decreases slightly with the substitution of $Ga_2O_3$ even though the ionic radii of the Ga ions are larger than that of the Al ions. The results can be attributed to a higher degree of covalency in the Ga-O bonds than in the Al-O and Fe-O bonds, which can also be explained using the observed M$\"{o}$ssbauer parameters, which are the magnetic hyperfine field, isomer shift, and quadrupole splitting. The drastic change in the magnetic structure according to the Ga ion substitution in the $ (Fe_2O_3)_5(Al_2O_3)_{4-x}(Ga_2O_3)_xSiO$ system and the low temperature variation have been studied through a M$\"{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy. The M$\"{o}$ssbauer spectrum at room temperature shows the superpositions of two Zeeman patterns and a strong doublet. It shows significant departures from the prototypical ferrite and is comparable with the diluted ferrite. The doublet of spectrum at room temperature appears to originate from superparamagnetic clusters and also the asymmetry of the doublet appears to be caused by the preferred orientation of the crystallites. The M$\"{o}$ssbauer spectra below room temperature show various complicated patterns, which can be explained by the freezing of the superparamagnetic clusters. On cooling, the magnetic states of the sample were various and multi critical.

Magnetic properties and crystallographic properties of $Cu_{0.95}Ge_{0.95}Fe_{0.1}O_3$ were studied by using x-ray diffraction, superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) and Mossbauer spectroscopy. Our sample has orthorhombic structure and the lattice constants are a = 4.795 $\AA$, b = 8.472 $\AA$, c = 2.932 $\AA$. The spin-Peierls (SP) transition temperatures of our sample is 13 K. The Mossbauer spectra consisted with two Zeeman sextets and one doublet due to $Fe^{3+}$ions. The Zeeman sextets come from tetrahedral $Fe^{3+}$ions and the doublets come from octahedral $Fe^{3+}$ions. The jump up of magnetic hyperfine field of 2nd Zeeman sextet and the increasing of the values of quadrupole splitting and isomer shift of doublet below SP transition temperature could be interpreted related with the atomic displacements. The N el temperature is 715 K, the Debye temperature are 540 K for octahedral site and 380 K for tetrahedral site, respectively.

We report the crystallographic and magnetic properties of $Ni_{0.3}Fe_{0.7}Ga_2S_4$ by means of X-ray diffractometer (XRD), a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer, and a M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy. In particular, $Ni_{0.3}Fe_{0.7}Ga_2S_4$ was studied by M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer analysis for evidence of spin reorientation. The chalcogenide material $Ni_{0.3}Fe_{0.7}Ga_2S_4$ was fabricated by a direct reaction method. XRD analysis confirmed that $Ni_{0.3}Fe_{0.7}Ga_2S_4$ has a 2-dimension (2-D) triangular lattice structure, with space group P-3m1. The M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectra of $Ni_{0.3}Fe_{0.7}Ga_2S_4$ at spectra at various temperatures from 4.2 to 300 K showed that the spectrum at 4.2 K has a severely distorted 8-line shape, as spin liquid. Electric quadrupole splitting, $E_Q$ has anomalous two-points of temperature dependence of $E_Q$ curve as freezing temperature, $T_f=11K$, and N$\acute{e}$el temperature, $T_N=26K$. This suggests that there appears to be a slowly-fluctuating "spin gel" state between $T_f$ and $T_N$, caused by non-paramagnetic spin state below $T_N$. This comes from charge re-distribution due to spin-orientation above $T_f$, and $T_N$, due to the changing $E_Q$ at various temperatures. Isomer shift value ($0.7mm/s{\leq}{\delta}{\leq}0.9mm/s$) shows that the charge states are ferrous ($Fe^{2+}$), for all temperature range. The Debye temperature for the octahedral site was found to be ${\Theta}_D=260K$.

The Jahn-Teller distortion of chalcogenide $Fe_{0.9}M_{0.1}Cr_2S_4$ (M=Co, Ni, Zn) have been investigated by M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy. The crystal structures of $Fe_{0.9}M_{0.1}Cr_2S_4$ (M=Co, Ni, Zn) are cubic spinel at room temperature. Magnetoresistance measurements indicate these system is conducting-semiconducting transistion around $T_C$. Below $T_C$, the asymmetric line broadening is observed and considered to be dynamic Jahn-Teller distortion. Isomer shift value of the samples at room temperature was about 0.5 mm/s, which means that charge state of Fe ions is ferrous in character. The Ni substitutions for Fe occur to increase the Jahn-Teller relaxation. CMR properties could be explained with magnetic polaron due to Jahn-Teller effect, which is different from both the double exchange interactions of manganite system and the triple exchange interactions of chalcogenide $Cu_xFe_{1-x}Cr_2S_4$.

[ $AIFeO_3$ ]has been studied by x-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer, Mossbauer spectroscopy. The crystal structure is found to orthorhombic with the lattice parameters being $a_0=4.983\;{\AA},\;b_0=8.554\;{\AA},\;c_0=9.239\;{\AA}$, Magnetic hysteresis curve for $AIFeO_3$ showed weakly ferromagnetic phase at room temperature and a asymmetric shape dependent on the direction of applied field at low temperature. The Curie temperature determined by the temperature dependence of magnetization is 250 K. Mossbauer spectra of $AIFeO_3$ have been taken from 4.2 K to 295 K. Isomer shift at room temperature are found to be $0.11\~0.32\;mm/s$, which is consistent with ferric state. The absorption lines widths become broader with increasing temperature, which is attributed to the Fe ions distribution of each cation site and anisotropy energy difference of each sublattice.

Precisely refined Mossbauer study and nano structure observation revealed that intergranular phase formed between a-Fe and Nd₂Fe₁₄B phase in NdFeNbB alloys plays a significant role on the magnetic properties. The intergranular interaction was characterized in term of Henkel Plot (δM plot), and hyperfine field, quardrupole splitting and isomer shift were refined to predict the presence and role of the intergranular phase. By the addition of Nb into Nd₈Fe₈₆B₆ composition, coercivity was found to increase by 25% due to the refinement of average grain size of both the soft and hard magnetic phases which was decreased from 50 nm of virgin Nd/sub 8/Fe/sub 86/B/sub 6/ to 25 nm in Nd₈Fe ₈₅Nb₁B₆ alloys. The role of Nb addition was confirmed to stabilize the Nd₂Fe₁₄B lattice preventing from thermal vibration of the corresponding sites substituted Fe by Nb atoms in all sites in the Nd₂Fe₁₄B lattice. The enhanced coercivity was originated from the exchange hardening of soft and amorphous phases surrounding the hard magnetic Nd₂Fe₁₄B crystal.
