Popis: A combined study of La 0.67 Ca 0.33 Mn 0.97 57 Fe 0.03 O 3 compound by means of zero field 55 Mn and 57 Fe NMR as well as 57 Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy (MS) is reported. The 55 Mn NMR spectra exhibit a single double exchange (DE) line up to the magnetic ordering temperature (T C ), 200 K, determined from magnetization measurements. The hyperfine field (HFF) remains finite at the T C , which reveals discontinuous character of the transition and the occurrence of a ferromagnetic-paramagnetic phase segregation. The 57 Fe MS HFF decreases much faster with increasing temperature than the 55 Mn NMR HFF. Application of a molecular field model to the temperature dependence of the 55 Mn and 57 Fe HFF allows to estimate values of the Mn-Mn and the Fe-Mn exchange integrals, which amount to 1.24 meV and -0.6 meV, respectively.
