Mössbauer data are available for most of these samples. Within this group, a majority of samples were not probed because either they do not contain iron or there was too little volume to make a grain mount. For those that could be probed, the composition listed in each figure is the probed composition. For the others (samples 007, 052, 038, 008, 014, 048, 088, 089, 091), the given composition is the composition targeted in synthesis. Please be advised that the actual composition may be off by as much as 10%. Click on the figures below to download an excel spreadsheet of the spectra.
