Material Research by means of Mössbauer Spectroscopy

Abstract

  Utilizing the nuclear forward scattering with synchrotron radiation, material research by means of Mössbauer spectroscopy in time domain has been demonstrated. First, a brief introduction of the Mössbauer spectroscopy is presented and, second, the characteristic feature of the nuclear forward scattering (NFS) with a synchrotron radiation has been discussed. As an example for the material research, the results from a high pressure ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer study with NFS on a perovskite-type iron oxide, SrFeO₃, using a diamond anvil cell (DAC) have been presented.
