VIVA BOOKS PRIVATE LIMITED Mössbauer Analysis of Atomic and Magnetic Structure of Alloy by Vladimir Ovchinnikov
The method of nuclear gamma resonance or the Mössbauer effect discovered several decades ago has been transformed into one of the most powerful methods of investigation of the structure of matter. Its experimental possibilities are continuously expanding. This relates to the selective indepth analysis of solids with registration of conversion and Auger electrons optical x-ray and gamma radiation. The applications associated with the utilisation of synchrotron radiation are being efficiently developed. Coherent effects are studied. The method is used widely for fundamental and applied investigations in chemistry biology and solid state physics in order to examine the dynamics of atoms and the atomic and electronic structure of matter. Almost all Mössbauer investigations of the long-range atomic order in the crystals are of qualitative nature whereas the precision methods of analysis of superstructures using the Mössbauer effect were developed approximately 30 years ago. This is also combined with the crisis of classical methods of interpreting the results of investigations. The aim of the monograph is to attract attention of investigators to a number of key problems whose solution is essential for further development of the Mössbauer methods of analysis of the atomic and magnetic structure of alloys and also propose variants of the solutions of some of these problems on the basis of generalisation of the results of a large number of theoretical and experimental investigations including the original studies by the author and his colleagues.
