Abstract: | 99Ru Mössbauer spectra have been recorded at 4.2 K for the quaternary oxides Ba3Ru2MO9 (M = Mg, Ca, Sr; Co, Ni, Cu, Zn; and Cd), all of which crystallize with the hexagonal barium titanate structure. The Ca, Sr, and Cd compounds give sharp symmetrical singlets with chemical isomer shifts typical of ruthenium in the +5 oxidation state. The absence of magnetic hyperfine splitting is consistent with the published interpretation of magnetic susceptibility data in terms of binuclear intracluster spin pairing which leads to an S = 0 ground state. In contrast, magnetic hyperfine splitting is seen for the Mg, Zn, Co, Ni, and Cu compounds; this can be interpreted only in terms of long-range magnetic order and the absence of such an S = 0 ground state at 4.2 K. This differs from the published interpretation of the magnetic susceptibility data for Ba3Ru2MgO9 in the low-temperature region. The magnetic flux densities at the ruthenium nuclei in the magnetically ordered compounds (32.5–51.6 T) are lower than those normally associated with ruthenium(V), and the spectra cannot be curve fitted satisfactorily with single hyperfine patterns having the natural linewidth. Possible reasons for these observations are discussed. |
