Abstract
EPR and Mössbauer measurements have been performed on sodium iron fluorophosphate glasses. Mössbauer spectra show the presence of Fe3+ and Fe2+ both in octahedral coordination sites. However, for low iron concentration, EPR suggests a small number of Fe3+ tetrahedra coexisting with Fe3+ octahedra. On the basis of these results, Fe3+ tetrahedrally and/or octahedrally coordinated, connected with P(O,F)4 tetrahedra would behave as a network-former cation, whereas Fe2+ would substitute for Na+ as a network-modifier. Long range magnetic order previously observed by magnetic measurements has been confirmed for iron-rich compositions.
