Abstract

With the aim of calibrating Mössbauer spectroscopic measurements, the electron contact density was calculated on the Fe nuclear position in various iron compounds. The full-potential augmented-plane waves plus local orbitals (APW+lo) method within the local-density approximation was used, considering different approximations for the exchange and correlation potential. By comparison with experimental 57Fe Mössbauer data, the calibration constant α relating measured isomer shifts to the electron contact density was derived. An isomer shift calibration constant α = − 0.251 a.u.3 mm s − 1 has been obtained.
