Mossbauer spectroscopy is based on recoilless emission and resonant absorption of γ-radiation by atomic nuclei. The aim of this chapter is to familiarize the reader with the concepts of nuclear γ-resonance and the Mossbauer effect, before we describe the experiments and relevant electric and magnetic hyperfine interactions in Chaps. 3 and 4. We prefer doing this by collecting formulae without deriving them; comprehensive and instructive descriptions have already been given at length in a number of introductory books ([7–39] in Chap. 1). Readers who are primarily interested in understanding their Mossbauer spectra without too much physical ballast may skip this chapter at first reading and proceed directly to Chap. 4. However, for the understanding of some aspects of line broadening and the preparation of optimized samples discussed in Chap. 3, the principles described here might be necessary.
