description

Glass-forming liquids, synthetic polymers and biopolymers share essential properties. Dynamic processes in these complex systems are characterized by cooperative motions with wide distributions of time scales, which manifest themselves in broad quasielastic lines in the Mossbauer spectrum. In this article, the application of the Mossbauer effect to the study of structural dynamics in complex systems is discussed.
