Abstract
Trivalent iron sulfide (Fe2 S 3) particles were synthesized using a modified polyol method. These particles exhibited a needle-like shape (diameter = 10-50 nm, length = 350-1000 nm) and generated a clear XRD pattern. Mössbauer spectra of the product showed a paramagnetic doublet at room temperature and distributed hyperfine magnetic splitting at low temperature. The Curie temperature of this material was determined to be approximately 60 K. The data suggest that the Fe2 S 3 had a structure similar to that of maghemite (γ-Fe2 O 3) with a lattice constant of a = 10.6 Å. The XRD pattern calculated from this structure was in agreement with the experimental pattern and the calculated hyperfine magnetic field was also equivalent to that observed in the experimental Mössbauer spectrum.
