57Fe Mössbauer studies of superconducting Rb0.8Fe1.6Se2.0 with Tc = 32.4 K were performed on single-crystalline and polycrystalline samples in the temperature range 4.2 K to 295 K. They reveal the presence of 88% magnetic and 12% non-magnetic Fe2+ species with the same polarization dependence of their hyperfine spectra. The magnetic species are attributed to the 16i sites of the √5 × √5 × 1 superstructure and the non-magnetic Fe species to a nano-sized phase observed in recent structural studies of superconducting KxFe2−ySe2 systems. The 57Fe spectrum of a single-crystalline sample in an external field of 50 kOe applied parallel to the crystallographic c-axis confirms the antiferromagnetic order between the fourfold ferromagnetic Fe(16i) supermoments and the absence of a magnetic moment at the Fe sites in the minority phase. Our study provides convincing evidence about the nano-scale phase separation in Rb0.8Fe1.6Se2.0.
