Short description This self-contained reference and textbook closes a huge gap in the literature with its complete description of the Mössbauer effect in lattice dynamics. It is the first to systematically compare the use of synchrotron radiation to conventional Mössbauer spectroscopy.
From the contents 1 The Moessbauer Effect 2 Hyperfine Interactions 3 Experimental Techniques 4 The Basics of Lattice Dynamics 5 Recoilless Fraction and Second Order Doppler Effect 6 Moessbauer Scattering Methods 7 Synchrotron Moessbauer Spectroscopy 8 Moessbauer Impurity Atoms (I) 9 Moessbauer Impurity Atoms (II) Appendices
