Abstract
The dynamics of ultrafine particles embedded in crystalline hexadecane and decaline has been studied. At temperatures slightly below the melting point of the decaline very broad components appear in the Mössbauer spectrum. This is interpreted to be due to Brownian oscillations. In the hexadecane-based sample such broad components are not observed. In both cases the absorption area of the Mössbauer spectrum decreases rapidly when the melting point is approached.
