Abstract

Six specimens of Australian iron ore, three hematite-rich and three goethite-rich, have been investigated by Mössbauer spectroscopy at both 300 K and 4.2 K. The resulting spectra provide data relevant to crystallite particle size variations in the hematite and goethite, the extent of isomorphous replacement, and the existence within one specimen of a poorly defined goethite-like material.
