In this updated and significantly expanded second edition of "The M ssbauer Effect", an introduction to the M ssbauer effect is provided for the non-specialist with a general background in undergraduate physics. A wide variety of M ssbauer applications are covered. These include general relativity, as well as the physical and chemical properties of materials. Applications in other fields including mineralogy, archaeology, space science, and biology are discussed. The book also contains descriptions of some more advanced M ssbauer spectroscopic techniques, such as ion implantation and synchrotron radiation based M ssbauer spectroscopy. This second edition includes a new chapter on experimental methods and updated and greatly expanded material on applications of the M ssbauer effect.
