RECOILLESS RAYLEIGH SCATTERING IN SOLIDS

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Letters
A photon analyzer made extremely selective in energy using the Mossbauer effect is used in the analysis of recoilless Rayleigh scattering of x rays by platinum, aluminum, graphite, and paraffin solids. The source is Sn/sup 119/ which, upon being excited. emlts 23.8-kev photons; the photons are scattered by the solids at 50 + 5 deg and absorbed by a Sn/sup 119/ foil. The change in counting rates between the temperatures of 80 and 300 deg K was measured. Agreement between the theoretical and observed reductions in x-ray intensity at 80 deg K is good. (D.L.C.)
