Abstract

Soon after the first observation [1–3] by Rudolf Mössbauer in 1958 of nuclear resonant recoilless absorption and emission of g-rays from nuclei of 191Ir, theMössbauer effect became a well-established spectroscopic method for probing the electronic, magnetic, and dynamic properties of solids, liquids, and even gases [4]. The unprecedentedly high intrinsic energy resolving power on the order of 10 13 offered by the Mössbauer effect is determined by the natural linewidth of the nuclear resonant exited state. The relatively simple and easily accessible experimental setup, and the observation of the effect in isotopes of widely spread and technologically relevant elements such as iron and tin and their compounds stimulated the explosion of applications of the Mössbauer spectroscopy not only in solid state physics but also in fundamental physics [5], chemistry [6], geology [7], biology [8], industry [9], and many other fields.
