MÖSSBAUER SPECTROSCOPY

  • Chapter
Handbook of Applied Solid State Spectroscopy

Abstract

The Mössbauer effect was discovered in 1957 by R.L. Mössbauer [1] and involves the recoilless emission of a gamma ray (γ-ray) by an excited nucleus with a subsequent recoilless absorption by another nucleus. Mössbauer spectroscopy has found numerous applications in physics, chemistry and biology and one notable early success was the measurement of the gravitational redshift [2]. This spectroscopic technique continues to make significant contributions, such as 2004/5’s analysis of soil on the surface of Mars [3], with spectra collected in situ. Rudolf Mössbauer’s work was awarded the 1961 Nobel Prize for Physics.
