Content:
The current chapter provides the reader with a general introduction of Mössbauer effect following by its unique utilization, which became known as Mössbauer spectroscopy. Mössbauer spectroscopy is based on the recoilless emission and following resonant absorption of gamma radiation by atomic nuclei and has been at the scientific forefront of physics, chemistry, biology, mineralogy for more than 60 years. Soon after the discovery of the Mössbauer effect, it became obvious that this effect can be used to study various properties of materials on a microscopic scale via hyperfine interactions with an unprecedented resolution. This was the beginning of a new analytical tool - Mössbauer spectroscopy. Today, it has developed into a standard analytical technique used in many laboratories and big research facilities. The current chapter provides the reader with a general introduction, explains the underlying hyperfine interactions and gives examples of the possible application of the method.
