Experimental Techniques

  • Chapter
Mössbauer Spectroscopy

Abstract

In this chapter we shall consider the various techniques which have been used for observation of the Mössbauer effect, together with methods of source and absorber preparation and computer techniques for data analysis. Some of the advantages and limitations of Mössbauer spectroscopy will become apparent during the discussion of these problems. References to more recent development will be found in the review by J. R. De Voe and J. J. Spijkerman in Analytical Chemistry, 1970, 42, 366R, and in ‘Spectroscopic Properties of Inorganic and Organometallic Compounds’ published annually by the Chemical Society (London).
