1. INTRODUCTION

Since the discovery of the Mossbauereffect in 1958,

numerous applications in a wide variety of scientific
disciplines have been described.Of the more than 30,000
paperspublished as of 1993, at least 2OCKlcontain results
of studieson minerals (as estimatedfrom dataprovided by
the MUssbauerEffect Data Center, USA). This chapter
provides a reference to Mossbauerdata for 108 minerals
containing 57Feand 18 containing l19Sn,accompaniedby
referencematerial on Mossbauerspectroscopy.

3. EXPERIMENT

A transmission Mossbauer spectrometer is very

simpIe. and typically consists of a y-ray source, the
absorber (sample) and a detector. The source is moved
relative to the absorber, shifting the energy spectrum due
to the Doppler effect. Spectra are commonly plotted as
percent transmission versus source velocity (energy).
Selected references to important experimental
considerations are given in Table 4, while Table 5 lists
somecommon applicationsof Mtissbauer spectroscopyto
mineral studies. This chapter only includes referencesto
transmission studies; however the technique can also be
performed in a scattering geometry to study surface
properties (e.g., [105, 121, 1271).

2. THEORY

The Mossbauereffect is the recoillessabsorption and

emission of y-rays by specific nuclei in a solid [81, 821,
and provides a means of studying the local atomic
enviroment aroundthe nuclei.
The interactions between the nucleus and the atomic
electrons dependstrongly on the electronic, chemical and
magnetic state of the atom. Information from thesehyperfine interactions is provided by the hyperfine parameters,
which can be determined experimentally from the line
positions in a Mossbauer spectrum (Figure 1). A typical
experimental spectrum is illustrated in Figure 2. Table 1
describes the hyperfine parameters as well as other
observables. Formulae relating the Mossbauer line

4. MINERAL

Over 100 different Mossbauer transitions have been

observed, although unfavourable nuclear properties limit
the number of commonly used nuclei. 57Feis by far the
most popular isotope, followed by l19Sn.Both the 14.4
keV transition in 57Feand the 23.88 keV transition in
ii9Sn involve a spin change of 3f2 + l/2, and therefore
have similar hyperfine properties. 57FeMossbauerdata of
selectedminerals are listed in Tables6 through 10, while
l19Sndata are listed in Table 11. The data were chosen
from the literature as being typical for eachmineral; however since hyperfine parametersoften dependon chemical
composition, particle size, thermal history and degreeof
crystallinity, the data should be consideredrepresentative

only. For more complete information on specific

minerals, one should consult resources such as the
Minerals Handbook published by the Mossbauer Effect
Data Center (see Table 3). Minerals are listed by name
except when part of a larger structure group, e.g.
Fe3A12Si30i2 is listed under garnet, not almandine.
Chemical compositions are given exactly as reported by
the authors (even if the resulting compositions are not
electrostatically neutral). Data for differing compositions
are provided for the major mineral groups to illustrate the

dependenceof hyperfine parameterson composition. The

relative areas of subspectra can be used as a rough
approximation to relative abundance,e.g. [973, but note
that site proportions often vary betweendifferent samples
of the same mineral. For example, the amount of Fe3+
may depend strongly on foa conditions, and the
distribution of iron cations between different
crystallographic sites may be a function of thermal
history. Most spectrawere fitted to Lorentzian lineshapes;
the few exceptionsare noted in the tables.

TABLE 1. Descriptionof Mossbauerparameters

Name

Unit

Description

Isomer shift (8)

mm s-l

Energy difference betweensourceand absorbernuclei resulting from effects

including differences in valence state, spin state and coordination of
absorber atoms. Experimentally one observesa single line shifted from a
referencezero point by the isomer shift plus the second-orderDoppler shift
(SOD), a small thermal shift due to atomic vibrations.

Centre shift (CS)

mms -1

The experimentalshift of the centroid of a Mossbauerspectrum from a zero

referencepoint. The contribution from the SOD is similar in most standard
materials, so for purposesof comparison the isomer shift is often taken to
be equalto the centre shift.

Quadrupolesplitting

mm s-l

Splitting of the energy levels causedby interaction between the nuclear

quadrupolar moment and an electric field gradient at the nucleus, and depends on the valence and spin state of the absorber atoms, as well as the
coordination and degree of distortion of the crystallographic site.
Experimentally one observesa doublet in s7Feand l 19Snspectrawith componentsof equal intensity and linewidth in the ideal random absorbercase.
The quadrupole splitting is given by the energy separation between
components.

Tesla

Interaction of the dipole moment of the nucleus and a hyperfine magnetic

field causesa splitting of the nuclear energy levels, resulting in six peaks
for 57Fespectrain the simplest case.For an ideal random absorberwith no
quadrupoleinteraction the linewidths of the peaks are equal with intensity
ratio 3:2:1:1:2:3. The separation of peaks 1 and 6 is proportional to the
magnitudeof the hyperfine magneticfield.

mm s-l

Full width at half maximum of the peak height. Peaks can be broadened
beyond the natural line width by effects due to equipment(vibrational, geometrical, thermal, and electronic problems), the source (self-absorption
resulting from decay), and the sample (thicknessbroadening,next-nearestneighboureffects, and dynamic processessuchas relaxation).

Relative proportion of subspectrumarea to the total area. Each site normally contributes a subspectrum(e.g. a quadrupoledoublet) whose areais
approximatelyrelatedto the relative abundanceof that particular site within
the absorber.
