Abstract
The application of external magnetic fields allows to broaden the knowledge, which can be gained by Mössbauer spectroscopy enormously. In combination with magnetic measurements, detailed information about local magnetic and electronic structure can be obtained. After an introduction to the influence of an external magnetic field on hyperfine interactions, examples are given. Starting from simple magnetic structures like para-, ferro-, and antiferro-magnetic ones, investigations on complex magnetic structures with spin canting are discussed. Also results on materials with inhomogeneous magnetic structures like spin glasses will be presented. Special focus will be on the influence of high external fields on the spin dynamics.

Notes
- 1.
The internal field Bint is sometimes also called induced field Bind, or transferred field Btrans, because it is caused by neighbouring ligands. In this tutorial both Bint and Bind are used synonymously.

This chapter reviews some studies accomplished in last decades in the Mössbauer group of the Institute of Solid State Physics, TU Wien, Austria, conducted by its founder Walter Steiner, who initiated these investigations. Some of the work is part of PhD theses of Adrian Pösinger, Joachim Bogner and Robert Ruzitschka. Special thanks goes to Heiner Winkler for his help in extending our program to be able to calculate relaxation spectra. Thanks also to Peter Mohn, Peter Blaha and Karlheinz Schwarz for performing theoretical band structures calculations. Peter Rogl, Andreas Leithe-Jaspers, and Zakir Seidov have prepared some of the discussed samples. Numerous other colleagues and students, who cannot all be mentioned here, have contributed to the presented results.
