Abstract
Almost twenty years ago, Rudolf L. Mö;ssbauer, while he was working on his doctoral thesis under Professor Maier-Leibnitz at Heidelberg, discovered the recoilless nuclear resonance absorption of gamma rays, otherwise known as the Mö;ssbauer effect [1.1–3]. This phenomenon developed rapidly to a new spectroscopic technique, called Mö;ssbauer spectroscopy, of high sensitivity to energy changes in the order of 10−8 eV (ca. 10−4 cm−1) and extreme sharpness of tuning (ca. 10−12).
