Abstract
The use of Mössbauer spectroscopy for the characterisation of new materials is illustrated here by examples of its application in the study of different types of solids. Firstly, the incorporation of large metal ions within the channels of the compound NbTiP3O12 which has a three-dimensional channel-type structure similar to that of the fast ion conductor called nasicon and the examination of the products by57Fe and119Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction is discussed. Secondly, the investigation by119Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of new conducting tin dioxide pillared clays synthesised by microwave heating is described. Finally, the examination by125Te Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction of conducting selenium-tellurium alloys prepared by precipitation techniques is discussed.
