Abstract
The distinctive Mössbauer spectra of goethite cannot be explained on the basis of superparamagnetism. Consideration of superparamagnetic fluctuations in only the transverse components of the sublattice magnetization (`mode superparamagnetism', proposed by Coey et al ), or of possible interactions between superparamagnetic particles, does not alter this conclusion.
