High Pressure Mössbauer Spectroscopy Using a Diamond Anvil Cell

Abstract

Recent progress of the high pressure Mössbauer spectroscopy using a diamond anvil cell has been reviewed. Principles of the Mössbauer spectroscopy have been presented briefly and results obtained for one of the common iron oxides, magnetite (Fe₃O₄), under high pressure up to 74 GPa have been discussed.
Recent success of the high pressure Mössbauer spectroscopy by nuclear resonant forward scattering with synchrotron radiation has also been presented and emphasized its importance in material research.
