Abstract

The effects of titanium ions on the crystallographic and spin-rotation transitions in iron sulfide have been examined by M$\"{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy in the temperature range of 78 to 600 K. It is noted that the titanium impurity of $Ti_{0.02}Fe_{0.98}S$ affects both the crystallographic and spin-rotation transitions of the iron sulfide. 2% impurity of $Ti^{2+}$ in FeS causes the increase in the difference between the spin rotation and ${\alpha}$ transition temperature by as much as 10 K compared with that for FeS. Both 1c and 2c structures coexist in the range between the ${\alpha}$ transition temperature and approximately 26 K, with a smaller hyperfine field corresponding to the 1c structure. The spin-rotation temperature for $Ti_{0.02}Fe_{0.98}S$ was measured to be 365 K, which is 10 K lower than the ${\alpha}$ transition temperature. By the 2% impurity of $Ti^{2+}$ in FeS the N$\'{e}$el temperature appreciably is not affected.
