Mössbauer spectroscopy and its sensitivity
Mössbauer spectroscopy is a technique in which interactionbetween the electromagnetic moment of the nuclear charge andelectromagnetic field produced by the extra-nuclear electrons arestudied. This interaction gives splitting/shifting of the nuclearenergy levels.

For the most common Mössbauer isotope, 57Fe, the linewidth is
5x10-9eV. Compared to the Mössbauer gamma-ray energy of
14.4keV this gives a resolution of 1 in 1012 (or the equivalent of a
small speck of dust on the back of an elephant or one sheet of
paper in the distance between the Sun and the Earth).

Proportional counter – Ar/Kr/Xe filled, ~ 2 kV operating voltage.
Also need a lot of electronics, cryostat/furnace, ME fitting software

Hyperfine Parameters
Chemical Isomer Shift (IS) (δδδδ): Arises out of the interactionbetween nuclear charge density and the surrounding ‘s’ electroncharge cloud. IS can give information about the spin state as wellas the co-ordination number.
Quadrupole Splitting (QS) (∆∆∆∆): Arises due to interaction between the

Quadrupole Splitting (QS) (∆∆∆∆): Arises due to interaction between the
electric quadrupole moment of the nucleus and Electric Field
Gradient created by the electrons. QS can give information about
the charge symmetry around the nucleus.
Hyperfine field (Hint) It gives the internal magnetic field of a
magnetic material

“IDEAL” Mössbauer spectra - summary
Depending on the local environments of the Fe atoms and the magnetic properties, Mössbauer spectra of iron oxides can consist of a singlet, a doublet, or a sextet.
