Studies of nuclear Bragg x-ray scattering of synchrotron radiation, using crystals of [alpha]-[sup 57]Fe[sub 2]O[sub 3], have been carried out at the NSLS at Brookhaven National Laboratory and at the Cornell University CHESS facility. These studies have demonstrated that nuclear resonance states can be used to produce filtered x-ray beams which have extremely narrow bandwidth, small angular divergence and unique polarization and temporal properties. this combination of characteristics, unobtainable with radioactive sources, makes synchrotron-based Moessbauer spectroscopy feasible and is an important complement to existing methods. A review of the experimental methodology is presented. As well as come suggestions for fuller exploitation of this new technique.
