Mössbauer Experiments with a He3/He4 Dilution Refrigerator

  • Conference paper
Mössbauer Effect Methodology

Abstract

The large cooling capacity of He3/He4 dilution refrigerators has made the temperature region below some hundredths of a degree available for Mössbauer resonance experiments. A spectrometer which allows the cooling of either the source or the absorber or both is described. Temperatures as low as 0.03°K were reached with this system. The application of very low temperatures is of interest for certain solid-state properties, such as low-lying magnetic transitions, paramagnetic relaxation, and localized magnetic moments, including the Kondo effect. It further allows Mössbauer measurements on oriented nuclei, which leads to an absolute thermometer, and gives information concerning the hyperfine interaction at the parent nuclei and the ß-decay matrix elements. In addition to a general discussion of these applications, data which were obtained with the Mössbauer isotopes Fe57, Eu151, and Au197 will be presented.

Based on work performed in part under the auspices of the Finnish Atomic Energy Commission and the US Atomic Energy Commission.
