Nuclear Resonant Scattering and Mössbauer Spectroscopy under High Pressure Using Synchrotron Radiation
—Current Statuses and Future Prospects—

Abstract

  The nuclear resonant scattering and Mössbauer spectroscopy are going to be the experimental technique to investigate the element-specific electronic and vibrational properties in materials under multi-extreme conditions by using synchrotron radiation as an excitation source for a Mössbauer isotope. In this article, I introduced the basic principles of nuclear resonant scattering and Mössbauer spectroscopy and reviewed these current statuses in material science. Finally, I described future prospects of these methods using shorter-pulsed structure and higher-brilliance Xrays from new-generation synchrotron radiation facilities.
