MÖSSBAUER EFFECT STUDIES OF FINE ARTS

B. Keisch

In an effort to demonstrate the application of Mössbauer Effect Spectroscopy in the field of Fine Arts, a survey of iron-bearing pigments was undertaken, a back-scattering detector was designed and constructed, and terra-cotta statuary was studied. These results show that there is great potential for classifying artists' pigments that contain iron oxides as an aid to identification, that spectra can be obtained on works of art efficiently and harmlessly, and that certain types of problems can be solved regarding differences in terra-cotta statues.
