Low temperature magnetic ordering in the LiFePO 4 compound is investigated experimentally using Mössbauer spectroscopy and theoretically via first principles calculations. The evaluation of experiment carried out on a powder sample is compatible with an antiferromagnetic order of Fe ion magnetic moments. When an external magnetic field is applied, Fe magnetic moments start to deviate slightly from the [010] easy magnetization direction. These findings are confirmed by means of first principles calculations, which also suggest the magnitude of single ion magnetic anisotropy and orbital and spin-dipolar contributions to the magnetic hyperfine field, which is eventually in a good agreement with the experiment. Diffraction and magnetic measurements complement the study.

Amorphous shell formation on the Fe-particles surface in course of mechanochemical nanocomposite synthesis in Fe2O3+Fe, Fe2O3+Al+Fe, and Fe2O3+Ga+Fe powders mixtures have been observed by Mössbauer spectroscopy and magnetic measurements.

A polycrystalline sample of superconducting LaFePO was prepared in a tin flux at 1123 K. The structure was determined from single-crystal data (ZrCuSiAs type, P4/nmm, a = 3.9610(1), c = 8.5158(2) Å , Z = 2), and the phase analysis was performed by the Rietveld method. LaFePO is Pauli-paramagnetic and becomes superconducting at 7 K after removing the ferromagnetic impurity phase Fe2P from the sample. 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy measurements at 298, 77, 4.2, and 4 K show single signals at isomer shifts around 0.35 mm s−1, subject to weak quadrupole splitting. At 4 K, a symmetric line broadening appears, resulting from a small transferred magnetic hyperfine field of 1.15(1) T and accompanied by an angle of 54.7(5)◦ between Bhf and Vzz, the main component of the electric field gradient tensor.
