Abstract
Transition metal oxoborates are of interest for magnetic and optical properties. Crystals of many MII2MIIIO2BO3 and MIIMIIIOBO3 materials can be grown from borate fluxes. In the FeII-FeIII-B-O system, flux growth results in Fe3O2BO3 crystals, but solid state reaction at higher temps. has yielded Fe2OBO3 as a polycryst. powder. This was characterized by synchrotron and neutron diffraction, electron microscopy, Mossbauer spectroscopy, cond. and magnetic measurements. Two notable transitions occur, a broad semiconductor-semiconductor change accompanied by a structural transition at 317 K, and L-type ferrimagnetic order below a Curie temp. of 155 K. An av. (Fe2+)0.5(Fe3+)0.5 valence is obsd. at the two crystallog. distinct sites in Fe2OBO3, indicating that charge ordering occurs. [on SciFinder(R)]
