U. Bergmann et al., TIME-DEPENDENT POLARIZATION IN MOSSBAUER EXPERIMENTS WITH SYNCHROTRON-RADIATION .2., Hyperfine interactions, 92(1-4), 1994, pp. 1113-1121
The resonant forward scattering of X-rays from Fe-57 nuclei is strongl
y polarization dependent. The broad band excitation provided by synchr
otron radiation (SR) results in an interesting time-dependent polariza
tion mixing. This mixing can be used to substantially reduce the nonre
sonant (nonrotated) scattering from electrons. The presented technique
will allow the full utilization of next-generation synchrotron facili
ties as a source for Mossbauer experiments.
