An understanding of spin crossover (SC) dynamics is relevant to understanding of a role or participation of SC in
natural systems including lower Mantle minerals, heme proteins as well as from fundamental science of view.
For example, pressure-induced electronic spin transitions of Fe2+ and Fe3+ iron occur in
magnesiowustite, silicate perovskite and post-perovskite which are abundant minerals in the Earth's lower
mantle [1-3]. Such a SC phenomenon has recently been observed in a number of magnetic minerals FeBO3
[4, 5], BiFeO3 [6], Fe2O3 [7], and Y3Fe5O12 [8], (La, Pr)FeO3 [9, 10]. In
those cases, iron ions are in the trivalent state Fe3+ and the high-spin-low-spin (HS–LS) crossover is manifested
as the collapse of the local magnetic moment and as the transition of the antiferromagnet to a paramagnetic
state. For example, in FeBO3 at low temperatures a spin-crossover and some magnetic transitions with two
triple points were found [4, 5]. Gadolinium iron borate, GdFe3(BO3)4 is also a system with SEC
and recently, we have reported on phase transitions induced by high pressures in this material [11, 12].
We studied the structural and magnetic behavior of GdFe573(BO3)4 at high pressures and
temperatures using a diamond anvil cell and a Synchrotron Mossbauer Spectroscopy technique. The hyperfine
parameters and results obtained from the experiments are discussed. Based on our experimental data and
theoretical calculation a tentative magnetic P–T phase diagram and an equation of states of
GdFe573(BO3)4 are proposed. Important features of the phase diagram are a spin
crossover, insulator-semiconductor transition and possible presence of two triple points where magnetic and
paramagnetic phases of the high-spin and low-spin states coexist.
