We report (237)Np Mössbauer measurements on NpFeAsO. The Np atoms were found to occupy only one crystallographic site. The value of the isomer shift (δ ∼ 9.1 mm s(-1) versus NpAl2) indicates a 5f(4) electronic configuration (Np(3+) ions). The magnetic ordering of the Np sublattice below 60 K is established and the saturated ordered magnetic moment is determined to be 1.73μB at 3.6 K. The unique set of hyperfine parameters exclude a modulated magnetic structure or spin waves on the Np site. The neptunium magnetic moments μNp are found to lie along the tetragonal c-axis.
我们报告了 (237)Np Mössbauer 测量在 NpFeAsO 上的结果。Np 原子被发现仅占据一个晶体学位置。同核异能位移值(δ∼9.1 mm s(-1) 与 NpAl2 相比)表明其具有 5f(4) 电子构型(Np(3+) 离子)。在 60 K 以下,Np 亚晶格的磁有序被确定,在 3.6 K 时饱和有序磁矩被确定为 1.73μB。独特的超精细参数集排除了 Np 位上的调制磁结构或自旋波。发现钚磁矩 μNp 沿着四方 c 轴排列。
