The Mossbauer effect in the 100-keV 2+ ~ 0+ transition in W182 was observed with dilute t~ngsten in iron alloy absorbers with concentrations from 0.5-5.0 at.%W at 4.2°K. From the Zeeman spectra In external longitudinal magnetic fields, the g factor of the first excited 2+ state was found to be O.~2±0.O~, and the hyperfine field at tungsten nuclei in iron was found to be -708±25 kOe. The hyperfi...

Mossbauer spectra of jacobsite have been recorded at temperatures of 4.2, 125, 180, 240 and 300 K and with an external magnetic field of 60 kOe applied parallel to the incident radiation at 4.2 K. The results show the presence of two different magnetic hyperfine interactions associated with the iron nuclei. Spectra of samples in external magnetic fields indicate the same sign for the magnetic h...

A method for obtaining accurate, quantitative 57Fe Mössbauer spectra from biological samples is illustrated stepwise in a data reduction procedure. Exact criteria are presented for deciding when it is necessary to account for the effects of the Beer-Lambert law in the Mössbauer spectra from biological samples. This procedure makes extensive use of the fast Fourier transform and other computer t...

Hydrothermal spring systems may well have been present on early Mars and could have served as a habitat for primitive life. The integrated instrument suite of the Athena Rover has, as a component on the robotic arm, a Mossbauer spectrometer. In the context of future Mars exploration we present results of Mossbauer analysis of a suite of samples from an iron-rich thermal spring in the Chocolate ...

— A new neptunium fluorozirconate glass (NpBasZrnF*) has been prepared and its Mossbauer spectrum was measured at 4.2 K and 77 K. Two resonance lines were observed. One is assigned to the Np ions occupying the normal Np sites in the compound. The other is thought to arise from Np which has replaced some of the Ba ions. The isomer shift of those ions suggests a configuration near 5f 6d . The Np ...

The magnetic properties of cobalt ferrite-silica nanocomposites with different concentrations (15, 30, and 50 wt %) and sizes (7, 16, and 28 nm) of ferrite particles have been studied by static magnetization measurements and Mossbauer spectroscopy. The results indicate a superparamagnetic behavior of the nanoparticles, with weak interactions slightly increasing with the cobalt ferrite content a...

Eu3InP3 has been prepared as large single crystals with an indium flux reaction. The structure of the new compound is isotypic to Sr3InP3 and crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with unit cell dimensions of a = 12.6517(15) A, b = 4.2683(5) A, and c = 13.5643(14) A (Z = 4, T = 140 K, R1 = 0.0404, wR2 = 0.0971 for all data). The structure consists of one-dimensional chains of corner...

Nickel ferrite nanoparticles 4 nm in size were synthesized by chemical deposition. Subsequent annealing at T=700 o C for 5 h led to an increase the particle 63 nm. The Mossbauer spectra and frequency-field dependences of ferromagnetic resonance have been measured. It has shown that freshly prepared powders are superparamagnetic room temperature. kinetic heating mode a frequency 8.9 GHz was foun...

Quasi-one-dimensional Ta0.96Fe0.0SS3 has been studied in magnetic fields applied at T = 4.2 K by Miissbauer spectrcxcopy. The amplitudes of the CDW's are increased. Also a phase transition is induced; SDW's then coexist with CDW's. When an external magnetic field is applied to charge-density-wave (CDW) conductors at low temperature new phenomena are sometimes observed. For example, Parilla et a...
