F. Bodker et S. Morup, SITU CELL FOR MOSSBAUER-SPECTROSCOPY BETWEEN 5 AND 800 K IN APPLIED MAGNETIC-FIELDS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 108(4), 1996, pp. 413-416
A new design for a Mossbauer in situ cell for the studies of catalysts
and nanometer-sized particles is described. The cell is very versatil
e and allows measurements in the temperature range from below 5 K to a
bout 800 K with the sample in vacuum or exposed to gases. The cell is
designed to be used for Mossbauer studies in large applied magnetic fi
elds. The samples can also be separated from the gas-manifold for long
term storage in a controlled environment and for studies by other exp
erimental techniques such as magnetic measurements. The application of
this system is illustrated by result of measurements on carbon-suppor
ted alpha-Fe nanoparticles.
