Polarization Analysis for the Interpretation of Poorly Resolved Synchrotron Mössbauer Spectra

  • Published:
Moscow University Physics Bulletin Aims and scope

Abstract

This work demonstrates the use of polarization analysis of reflected radiation to reveal the contributions from magnetically ordered phases in poorly resolved Mössbauer spectra obtained with \(\pi\)-polarized radiation from the Synchrotron Mössbauer Source. The study was carried out for the cluster-layered structure [\({}^{57}\)Fe (0.08 nm)/Cr (1.08 nm)]\({}_{30}\). As a result, it was shown that only 16\(\%\) of iron atoms are ferromagnetically ordered, while the remaining iron atoms are in the spin glass state.
