A PC-based set-up for Rayleigh scattering of Mössbauer radiation

Abstract

An experimental set-up based on a personal computer suitable for any kind of Mössbauer scattering experiments and tested for Rayleigh scattering of Mössbauer radiation at room temperature is described. The performance of the system was tested using like scatterers two of crystals; lithium fluoride (LiF) and pyrolytic graphite (C). Unlike previous systems, this experimental set-up permits lower horizontal divergences of the incident beam and the use of lower intensity Mössbauer sources.

Application of semiconductor detector for recording the Rayleigh scattering of Mössbauer radiation

“…As mentioned earlier, in most researches, including our investigations [12][13][14][15][16], the conventional Möss-bauer spectroscopy and related methods (calibration of the isomer shifts [17]) are prevailing, however, the recent publications show that the interest in RSMR increases [18][19][20][21].…”
