Abstract

A brief overview of the contributions which Mössbauer effect spectroscopy has made to areas of materials science is presented. A survey of the literature reveals the decreasing trends of established areas, with emergence in the past decade or so of new areas such as nanostructured materials and materials produced by mechanochemical treatment and the continuing importance of rare-earth magnetic materials. Examples of applications of 57Fe and 119Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy, both transmission and backscattering, are discussed. The complementary nature of Mössbauer spectroscopy and neutron diffraction in delineation of the magnetic behaviour and structures of materials is demonstrated by the La1−x Y x Mn2Si2 series of rare-earth intermetallic compounds.
