Abstract
The fundamentals and applications of Mössbauer spectrometry, which has been proved to be very useful for the analyses of chemical states of Mössbauer elements such as iron, tin, antimony, europium etc. in solid samples, are described. The typical applications of (CEMS) to the chemical state analyses of corrosion products and chemically coated films deposited on iron, steel and tin, and of magnetic and structural studies of advanced industrial thin films are insroduced.
