Abstract

Complete replacement of copper by iron in RBa2Cu3O7 leads to RBa2Fe3O8 (R=Y, rare earth). Mössbauer spectroscopy measurements of57Fe and151Eu in RBa2Fe3O8 (R=Y, Eu, Ho, Er) at temperatures 4.2-800 K have been performed. Some of the spectra reveal two inequivalent iron sites, probably corresponding to iron in the Fe(2) site (fivefold oxygen coordination) and in the Fe(1) site (octahedral oxygen coordination). In all compounds the iron moments order antiferromagnetically at the same Néel temperature TN≈720 K. The151Eu Mössbauer spectra of EuBa2Fe3O8 show that the Eu ion is trivalent and exposed to a small exchange field from the iron sublattices.
