Abstract
Mössbauer spectroscopy is the most powerful tool available in studies of iron compounds or materials. It is the recoilless nuclear resonant absorption which dates back to 1957 when Mössbauer made his first observation of recoilless resonant absorption in 191Ir (Mössbauer, 1958). He explained the experiment he had carried out and in a further paper described suitable equipment for scanning the resonance (Mössbauer, 1959). His particular genius rests with his ability to carry out meticulous experimental work using equipment he had built combined with a complete mastery of the necessary background theory and the gift of communication of the results to a wide readership.
