Abstract

We report a rapidly convergent analytic representation for the Mössbauer effect (ME) lineshape and its Fourier transform, which gives an exact description of transmission and conversion electron cases. This representation permits the accurate determination of all Mössbauer effect (ME) parameters, including position, width, cross section, and interference and can be used to deconvolute hyperfine information contained in either source or absorber. The limitations of lorentzian and exponential-lorentzian fits to ME experiments are clarified.

See ref \[3\]f or additional references Bykov and Hlen \[5 \] have given many properties of the convolution integral m terms of Bessel functions, and Heberle and coworkers \[6 \] have reported an analytic representation of a series expansion of the convolution integral evaluated by the method of residues. We report here new a method of analytically representing ME hnes and their Fourier transforms. Based on the convolution theorem our method allows direct deconvolution of source and absorber spectra and is highly convergent m the thickness number and is readily extended to include source broadening due to self absorption.
