Abstract
The effective temperature of isotopic amorphous carbon (C-13) was meas ured, at 295 K, by employing the nuclear resonance photon scattering ( NRPS) technique. The photon beam was in the form of bremsstrahlung obt ained from an electron beam of the Stuttgart Dynamitron, with E=4.1 Me V, and the resonance scattering from the 3089-keV and the 3684-keV lev els in C-13 was measured. The effective temperature of C-13 was found to be (822+/-123) K, which is higher by about 13% than that calculated from the experimental vibrational density of states of amorphous carb on. This deviation is discussed.
