Abstracts

EN

The multiferroic GaFeO_3 synthesized by a sol-gel method and conventional solid state reaction show remarkably different magnetic transition temperatures. Both samples have orthorhombic crystal structure Pc2_1n. Results of a new analysis of neutron diffraction and Mössbauer data are presented. Full agreement between parameters was achieved using the Mössbauer data as the constraints in the refinement of neutron diffraction data at low and at high temperature. Magnetic moments are reported.
