Popis: We present the results of our 57Fe probe Mossbauer study in manganites CaCuxMn6.96–x57Fe0.04O12 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1). We have established that for compositions 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.15 near the structural R$$\bar {3}$$ ↔ Im$$\bar {3}$$ transition (at T ≈ TCO), an increase in the temperature leads to a decrease in the content of the rhombohedral phase (R$$\bar {3}$$) against a background of the “nucleation” and gradual increase in the fraction of the cubic phase (Im$$\bar {3}$$), in which all octahedral positions of manganese are equivalent due to the electron exchange Mn3+ ↔ Mn4+. The increase in the electron exchange frequency is assumed to be related to a weakening of the electron–lattice interaction of Jahn–Teller Mn3+ cations as x → 0.4. An increase in the copper content leads to a sharp decrease in the phase transition temperature TCO. A single component corresponding to the cubic phase (Im$$\bar {3}$$) is present in the spectrum starting from x ≥ 0.4. Based on our Mossbauer data, we have constructed a T–x phase diagram.
