Popis: Two specimens of copper ferrite, CuFe2O4, have been synthesized by double sintering ceramic technique with different thermal history i.e. slow cooled and quenched. X-ray diffractometry has confirmed single phase fcc spinel structure for slow cooled sample while tetragonal distortion is present in quenched sample. Mossbauer spectral analysis for slow-cooled copper ferrite reveals super position of two Zeeman split sextets along with paramagnetic singlet in the centre position corresponds to delafossite (CuFeO2) phase that is completely absent in quenched sample. The hyperfine interaction parameters are highly influenced by heat treatment employed.
