Scientific Mossbauer Spectrometer
A more detailed description can be found in
IRM Quarterly v. 2, n. 3, Fall 1992.
Specifications:
- Temperature range: 77 K to room temperature
- Applied Field: 0 T
- Measurement time: several hours.
The Mossbauer spectrometer uses a radioactive 57Co source to generate
gamma rays that are absorbed by 57Fe in a sample. The nature of
absorbtion by the 57Fe is a function of the valence state and type of
bonding in an Fe-mineral's lattice, and so the Mossbauer effect can be
diagnostic of magnetic Fe sulfides and oxides.
