Abstract

Eight illites were studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy at room temperature and 4.2 K. On the basis of their Fe contents, these illites can be divided into an Fe-rich (>5 wt% Fe) and an Fe-poor (<1 to ∼3 wt% Fe) group. Mössbauer spectroscopy showed that the Fe-rich illites had lower proportions of divalent Fe than their Fe-poor counterparts. Slow paramagnetic relaxation was observed in the Fe-poor illites and must be accounted for when fitting the spectra. Two samples contained iron oxides that were superparamagnetic and thus, although contributing to the Fe3+ doublets, escaped detection at room temperature. Structural Fe3+ had a temperature-independent quadrupole splitting that was lower for the Fe-rich illites (0.59 mm/s) than that of the Fe-poor illites (0.73 mm/s). The Fe2+ quadrupole splittings were higher at 4.2 K than at room temperature, but the Fe-rich illites again had lower Fe2+ quadrupole splittings both at room temperature (2.69 vs. 2.88 mm/s) and at 4.2 K (2.96 mm/s vs. 3.08 mm/s). Distinction of Fe sites in the illites with cis- and trans-OH coordination was not possible. The presence of tetrahedral Fe3+ was observed only in the most Fe-rich sample (8.4 wt% Fe).
