Abstract

The connection between internal conversion of a nuclear transition and EXAFS is pointed out. A prediction is made of sizable variations in lifetimes of nuclear states depending on the surrounding material environment, provided that the transition energy is just above threshold and the internal conversion coefficient is appreciable.
