9.1 INTRODUCTION

Like other spectroscopic techniques discussed earlier, Mössbauer spectroscopy (MBS) is a very useful technique that can be used to provide information in many areas of science such as Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Metallurgy. It can give very precise information about the chemical, structural, magnetic, and time-dependent properties of materials. Key to the success of the technique is the discovery of recoilless gamma ...
