Structural and magnetic properties of strontium-borate glasses containing iron ions
Glasses of the xFe(2)O(3)center dot(100 - x)[B2O3 center dot SrO] system. with 0 <= x <= 30 mol%, were studied by EPR and magnetic susceptibility measurements. EPR spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements show that the Fe 3, ions are localized in sites of distorted octahedral symmetry and in clustered formations containing both Fe3+ and Fe2+ ions. Dipolar and superexchange interactions involving iron ions were revealed depending on the iron content of the sample.
