Mössbauer Spectroscopy — Nuclear Gamma Resonance

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Fundamental and Applied Catalysis ((FACA))

Abstract

The chemical and structural properties of an atom can be studied from the shifts and degeneracy of its nuclear energy levels. These changes in the nuclear state are easily observed by using the resonance spectroscopy of the gamma rays emitted in a nuclear transition toward the ground state for an isotope of the element in question. Nuclear gamma resonance (NGR), is possible only for solids, as was shown by Mössbauer in 1957. It is illustrated in Figure 8.1, which shows in particular the mean energy transition E 0 within a Lorentzian distribution with a linewidth W 0 (or Γ0).
