    Mossbauer Spectros

    Uploaded by

    Siddharth Tanguturi
    Mossbauer spectroscopy deals with the excited and ground state properties of nuclei within atoms. It studies the transitions between energy levels of nuclei through the emission and absorption of gamma rays. The Mossbauer effect allows recoilless emission and absorption of gamma rays to be observed. Nuclei fluoresce similarly to atoms, but nuclear fluorescence involves greater recoil energy during gamma ray emission or absorption compared to atomic fluorescence. The energy levels of nuclei are influenced by their electronic and magnetic environments, which can provide information about the local environment and atomic structure.

    m Mossbauer spectroscopy deals with both the excited as well as

    the ground state properties. It is concerned with the transitions


    between energy levels with in the nuclei of atoms.
    m The technique is the discovery of recoilless gamma ray
    emission and absorption, now referred to as the 'Mössbauer
    Effect', after its discoverer Rudolph Mössbauer, who first
    observed the effect in 1957 and received the Nobel Prize in
    Physics in 1961 for his work.
    m Nuclei can fluorescence in much the same way as atoms do. A
    major difference between nuclear and atomic fluorescence,
    however, lies in the magnitude of the recoil energy involved in
    the emission or absorption of a photon
    m Nuclei in atoms undergo a variety of energy level transitions,
    often associated with the emission or absorption of a gamma
    ray.
    m These energy levels are influenced by their surrounding
    environment, both electronic and magnetic, which can change
    or split these energy levels.
    m These changes in the energy levels can provide information
    about the atom's local environment within a system and ought
    to be observed using resonance-fluorescence

    m The Mössbauer effect as generally applied to the study of
    minerals relies on the fact that 57Fe, which is a decay product
    of 57Co, is unstable. 57Fe decays by giving off a gamma ray (Ȗ-
    ray), along with other types of energy.
    m EȖ-ray emission = Etransition - ER,

    where

    EȖ-ray emission = the energy of the emitted Ȗ-ray


    Etransition = the energy of the nuclear transition
    ER = the energy of the recoil.

    m Along with wet chemistry, Mossbauer spectroscopy remains
    the "gold standard" for quantitative determination of the
    valence state of iron in minerals and identification of various
    iron oxides.
    m It is also well-suited for determination of the coordination
    number of Fe atoms.
    m It is used for microenvironment charactarisation of magnetic
    state
    m The biggest limitation of the Mossbauer is that it is inherently
    a bulk technique.
    m The rock-forming minerals on Earth contain Fe2+ in octahedral
    coordination, and thus have very similar Mossbauer
    parameters.
    m The most minerals exhibit a range of Mossbauer parameters as
    a function of cation substitution.
    m Nature of chemical bond.
    m The chemical shift.
    m Quadrupole effect.
    m The effect of a magnetic field.
    m Structure determination.
    m Microenvironments-site determination.
    m Microenvironment-characterization of magnetic state.
    m It is used in mineralogy&geology.
    Any qualitative analysis based on Mossbauer spectroscopy
    boils down to identifying the individual physical or chemical
    species from the corresponding patterns present in the
    spectrum. Ideally, this can be done if we know the exact
    correspondence between patterns and species. Such a one-to-
    one correspondence between species of atoms and individual
    patterns.
