Popis: Phases in the spinel series Zn2+[Zn (1−x) 2 2+Sn 1+x 2 Fe1−x3+Fex2+]O4 have been prepared and studied by 57Fe and 119Sn Mossbauer spectroscopy. For 0 ⩽ x ⩽ 0.75 the spinels remain paramagnetic down to 80 K. Evidence is found for fast localized electron hopping between adjacent Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions and also for the complete delocalization of electrons into a conduction band. A model which quantitatively accounts for this latter phenomenon is presented.
