Abstract

We studied by M\"{o}ssbauer spectroscopy the Na0.82_{0.82}CoO2_2 compound using 1% 57^{57}Fe as a local probe which substitutes for the Co ions. M\"{o}ssbauer spectra at T=300 K revealed two sites which correspond to Fe3+^{3+} and Fe4+^{4+}. The existence of two distinct values of the quadrupole splitting instead of a continuous distribution should be related with the charge ordering of Co+3^{+3}, Co+4^{+4} ions and ion ordering of Na(1) and Na(2). Below T=10 K part of the spectrum area, corresponding to Fe4+^{4+} and all of Fe3+^{3+}, displays broad magnetically split spectra arising either from short-range magnetic correlations or from slow electronic spin relaxation.
