Mössbauer Spectroscopy

  • Chapter
Characterization of Solid Surfaces

Abstract

The discovery of the existence of nuclear γ-ray resonance in solids by R. L. Mössbauer(1) in 1958 led rapidly to the development of a new spectroscopic tool for the study of the structure and composition of matter. the technique quickly expanded across interdisciplinary lines from physics to metallurgy, chemistry, and biology. the applications have been diverse and often imaginative as witnessed by the observation of changes in the abdominal movements of large Transylvanian ants during their death throes.(2)
