Mossbauer activity

This study Illustrates the use of situ MBS as applied to the Investigation of species Involved In redox processes In porous electrodes. It Is expected that a systematic utilization of this technique may enable the acquisition of microscopic level Information of difficult accessibility with other spectroscopic methods, although limited to only Mossbauer active nucleus. 

Up to the present time, the Mossbauer effect has been observed with nearly 100 nuclear transitions in about 80 nuclides distributed over 43 elements (cf. Fig. 1.1). Of course, as with many other spectroscopic methods, not all of these transitions are suitable for actual studies, for reasons which we shall discuss later. Nearly 20 elements have proved to be suitable for practical applications. It is the purpose of the present book to deal only with Mossbauer active transition elements (Fe, Ni, Zn, Tc, Ru, Hf, Ta, W, (Re), Os, Ir, Pt, Au, Hg). A great deal of space will be devoted to the spectroscopy of Fe, which is by far the most extensively used Mossbauer nuclide of all. We will not discuss the many thousands of reports on Fe... 

Mossbauer-Active Transition Metals Other than Iron... 

In the following sections, we discuss the decay schemes for all Mossbauer-active transition metal nuclides other than iron. For the sake of completeness, the decay scheme for Fe (see Fig. 7.1) is inserted here. The relevant nuclear data,...
