Abstract: | The γ→α-Fe2O3 transformation in 10 nm-sized particles has been investigated with the Mössbauer effect. At 475°C the conversion was completed in about 2 days, it progressed very slowly below. Kinetic measurements at 330°C revealed a pre-transitional shift of the hyperfine field distribution. It has been attributed to the formation of interparticle >Fe?O?Fe< bridges due to the removal of chemisorbed water. Subsequent magnetic and crystalline strains probably drive the recrystallisation. |
