Popis: Structural and magnetic characteristics of nanosized goethite (α-FeOOH) samples prepared by chemical precipitation of an iron (III) salt and alkali in aqueous solutions with different contents of a surfactant (ethyl alcohol) have been investigated. Changes in the morphology, structure, and sizes of antiferromagnetic nanoparticles, caused by the presence of the surfactant in the deposition solution, have been established by Mossbauer spectroscopy, magnetic measurements, X-ray diffraction, and electron microscopy. It is determined that an increase in the surfactant concentration leads to the bimodal size distribution of nanoparticles; in this case, the fraction of small (
