Abstract We report on first experiments to investigate the electronic structure in the normal spinels ZnAl2O4 and ZnFe2O4 and in the inverse spinels Zn2SnO4 and Zn2TiO4 using the high-resolution67Zn-Mössbauer spectroscopy. The electric field gradient for67Zn at the B (octahedral) site in ZnAl2O4 is negative, whereas the A (tetrahedral) site remains essentially cubic, however, with a more positive center shift. ZnFe2O4 orders antiferromagnetically at ≈10K. Due to superexchange a magnetic field is observed at67Zn. In the inverse spinels short range order leads to only few (Zn,Sn) and (Zn,Ti) configurations at the octahedral sites. The s-electron densities at the67Zn sites are distinct and cover a surprisingly broad range for Zn2TiO4. This strongly suggests that d-electrons of Ti play an essential role in the chemical bond of this compound.
