A variation of this technique for thick samples records the emission of conversion electrons.
A variation of this technique for thick samples records the emission of conversion electrons. Spectraobtained via this technique are characterized by the amount of isomer shift, quadrupole splitting andhyperfine splitting. This technique uses the Doppler effect to introduce miniscule variations in energy, andcobalt-57, which decays to the isotope iron-57, is commonly used as a source. This technique relies onenergy decay not occurring via phonons, leading to the mass of the entire lattice being considered incalculations. The effect behind this technique was used in the Pound-Rebka experiment. For 10 points,identify this resonant, recoil-free absorption of gamma radiation.
