AMORPHOUS SOLIDS : A REVIEW OF THE APPLICATIONS OF THE MÖSSBAUER EFFECT

J. Coey

The Mössbauer effect has been used intensively to help investigate the structure and bonding of oxide and chalcogenide glasses, particularly those containing iron, tin, tellurium and antimony. Both the properties of magnetically ordered amorphous iron compounds and alloys and the glass transition have also been examined. After an introduction to some elementary ideas of amorphous solids, the information obtained from the Mössbauer studies of their structure, bonding and magnetic properties is reviewed. An attempt is made to assess both the scope of the technique and its future prospects in this field.
