H. Grunsteudel et al., MOSSBAUER-SPECTROSCOPY WITH SYNCHROTRON-RADIATION - A NEW TECHNIQUE ENTERING BIOLOGICAL INORGANIC-CHEMISTRY, Inorganica Chimica Acta, 276(1-2), 1998, pp. 334-339
Nuclear resonant forward scattering (NFS) of synchrotron radiation was
employed as Mossbauer spectroscopy in the time domain only recently,
while conventional Mossbauer spectroscopy in the energy domain is wide
ly applied since its discovery in 1958. Experimental setup and theoret
ical background required for NFS are explained, and examples are given
for detecting quadrupole splitting, isomer shift, thickness effect an
d magnetic hyperfine interaction. Nuclear inelastic scattering provide
s the possibility to detect molecular vibrations. (C) 1998 Elsevier Sc
