Contents: Preface. 1. Introduction to Mossbauer Spectroscopy. 2. Fundamentals of Mossbauer Spectroscopy. 3. Experimental setup. 4. Mossbauer effect. 5. Some Mossbauer spectra. 6. Hyperfine structure. 7. Nuclear moments. 8. Magnetic Reception (Biology). 9. Nuclear isomerism.

"The technique of Mossbauer Spectroscopy is important in the study of the bonding, structural, magnetic, nuclear and dynamical properties of various systems. Although used mainly by physicists and chemists, the method has also become a common means of investigation for materials scientists, geologists, biologists, surface scientists and others. This book describes the principles of the technique, and discusses its applications in various fields. It will be invaluable for anyone using the technique of Mossbauer Spectroscopy for the first time." (jacket)
