[en] We have studied the magnetic spin structure of antiferromagnetic CuFeO₂ by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Moessbauer spectroscopy. Its crystal structure determined by XRD analysis was a rhombohedral structure (space group R-3m) and lattice constants a₀ and c₀ were 3.0333 and 17.1595 A, respectively. In spite of 4-Fe sublattices in a delafossite CuFeO₂, its Moessbauer spectra were analyzed with 1-set (6-Lorentzian lines) below 10 K due to the collinear-commensurate spin structure, but the spectra were fitted with 4-sextet above 10 K due to the incommensurate spin structure. This phenomenon was attributed to the spin-lattice relaxation effect. Magnetic Neel temperature was also determined at 18 K, which corresponded to the high-spin Fe³⁺ valance state. On the other hand, CuFe_0.98Al_0.02O₂ powder with a noncollinear spin structure was fitted with 4-sextet at 4.2 K
