Popis: Samples of the sulphospinel FeCr 2 S 4 with varying Fe/Cr ratio around the nominal composition have been investigated with Mossbauer spectroscopy. The spectra with the narrowest lines, as well as a γ-type peak in the specific heat-temperature curve at the low temperature transition previously described, were obtained for an overall composition with a small Fe deficit. The broadening often observed in Mossbauer spectra of FeCr 2 S 4 samples is attributed to Fe 2+ on octahedral sites in the spinel phase, resulting in an electric field gradient at the Fe 2+ ions on the tetrahedral sites. The paramagnetic Mossbauer spectrum of Fe 1.06 Cr 1.94 S 4 is in accordance with this interpretation.
