Abstract
The 57Fe Mössbauer technique has been used to investigate the effect of zinc oxide substitution in (25-x)MnO-xZnO-15Fe2O3-60B2O3 glass system (x=0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 mol% of ZnO). Mössbauer absorption spectra for all the samples recorded at room temperature suggest the existence of the two paramagnetic quadrupole doublets. The observed variations in hyperfine parameters have been explained on the basis of cations distribution and exchange interaction at the lattice sites and it is concluded that B-B interaction increases while the metal-metal interaction decreases due to replacement of manganese oxide by zinc oxide. These results suggest that the present glass system exhibits a paramagnetic behaviour that changes towards the weak paramagnetic when manganese oxide was replaced with zinc oxide.
