Aim: The student learns to perform Mössbauer spectroscopy measurements on solid materials, to analyze them by use of standard computer programs and to interpret the results.
|
Contents: As an introduction a number of reference samples are studied in order to illustrate typical applications of Mössbauer spectroscopy to obtain information about the valence state of metal atoms and their interaction with neighbouring atoms. The technique is then applied to characterize a few other samples (e.g. alloys, catalysts, meteorites, magnetic tapes, building materials, biological samples, geological samples or ceramics).
