Mössbauer Spectroscopy

Mössbauer Spectroscopy is Resonant Gamma-ray Spectroscopy and is used primarily to study the electronic and chemical properties of materials. The extreme resolution of the Mössbauer transition makes it possible to resolve the hyperfine splittings of the nuclear energy levels caused by the surrounding electrons and provides the link between the chemical state of an atom and its nuclear state.
