McGill
Mössbauer Group
Conventional Mössbauer Spectroscopy.
We have three spectrometers operating in the laboratory which can
be configured for a variety of environments and detection methods.
The conventional arrangement shown here is for room temperature
measurements by transmission.
We have furnaces that can be operated up to 1000 K and two helium-flow
cryostats which can be run down to 1.7 K. The rightmost cryostat shown here
contains a superconducting split-solenoid which permits transverse and
longitudinal measurements in fields of up to 7 Tesla.
We also have a vibration-isolated closed-cycle refrigerator which can
cool to 12 K.
