Mössbauer Spectroscopy

  • Chapter
Spectroelectrochemistry

Abstract

Mössbauer spectroscopy is a technique that relies on the phenomenon of recoilless emission and absorption of γ-rays for the investigation of nuclear quantum states. The energy associated with such quantum states is modified by the interactions of the nucleus with the surrounding electric and magnetic fields. Hence, the analysis of information derived from such measurements may be expected to afford considerable insight into the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of a variety of condensed-phase materials. Although restricted to only a few elements, this methodology has found wide application in a number of research areas, including chemistry, biology, and metallurgy, and has recently emerged as a powerful tool in the investigation of systems of interest to physical electrochemistry.
