Table 2. Spin-Hamiltonian and quadrupole doublet parameters used in the 4.2 K Mössbauer simulations.

Type of center Spin δ (mm/s) ΔEQ (mm/s) η A (T) Γ (mm/s)
Diferric
A 0 0.46 0.99 0.35
B 0.50 1.71 0.34
Mixed-valence
FeIII 1/2 0.52 −1.45 0.26 −44, −44, −44 0.35
FeII 1.15 +2.96 0.09 32, 28, 14 0.35
Diferrous 1.14 3.50 0.40

Parameters: δ –isomeric shift, η – asymmetry parameter, ΔEQ –quadrupole splitting; Γ – line width; A- hyperfine constant.

The diferric and mixed-valence parameters were determined from as-isolated RIC, while the diferrous parameters were determined from reduced RIC (data not shown).
