Abstract
EPMA examination of these spinels synthesized in 10 mol. % steps at 950 degrees C, 1 kbar and log fO (sub 2) -16.30 showed that they are all homogeneous but contain a small magnetite component in solid solution. XRD showed that the solid solution is continuous at 950 degrees C, all members having the cubic space group Fd3m; a increases linearly from 8.53374 Aa for ulvoespinel to 8.68063 Aa for the Mn end-member. The whole Fe-Mn ulvoespinel solid solution is 82-92% inverse at 950 degrees C. Calculated tetrahedral oxygen bond lengths increase from 1.999 Aa for Fe (sub 2) TiO (sub 4) to 2.079 Aa with X (sub Mn) .
