Abstract
The fractional resonance absorption ε(0) in transmission Mossbauer spectroscopy is defined as a relative number of the absorbed γ-ray, and regarded as a measure of Mossbauer effect. The absorption linewidth Λ a , as it is usually suggested, is nearly equal to the emission linewidth, Λ s , and such an approximation leads to a extremely simplified expression ε(0), depending on neither Λ s nor Λ a . We consider the general case Λ s ≠Λ a , and obtain an exact expression for ε(0) which is given in the present paper. This expression ε(0), as a function oft a, Λ s , Λ a , is figured and discussed.
