A Mössbauer effect study of a phase transition in 57Fe2+ doped ammonium chloride
Abstract
The lambda transition in ammonium chloride at 242 K has been investigated using 57Fe2+ impurity atoms. These probably reside on interstitial sites in an effective [FeCl4(H2O)2]2– complex. The temperature dependence of the quadrupole splitting reveals a larger tetragonal distortion of the impurity site in the low-temperature ordered state of the NH4Cl.
