    Samenvatting

    Mössbauer spectra of a carbon-supported iron catalyst, consisting of 3.5 wt % Fe on the carbon black Carbolac-1, show that all metallic iron is superparamagnetic both at 300 and at 80 K. Spectra measured in applied magnetic fields up to 1 T confirm that the signal is due to α-Fe. Analysis of the magnetic field dependence of the spectra shows that the average diameter of the particles is 2.5 ± 0.2 nm. The sample is particularly suited for fundamental investigations of superparamagnetic relaxation and surface magnetism in metallic iron particles.
