The probability for recoilless resonant gamma-ray emission or absorption by atoms present as impurities in a host lattice was evaluated in the high- temperature limit. The effect of interatomic force constant differences between impurity atoms and host lattice atoms is included explicitly for a simple model. The first-order quantum corrections were calculated for an isotopic lipurity (no force constant difference). The Debye-Waller factor at high temperatures is determined largely by the stiffness of the host lattice, and partially by the forces between host and impurity atoms. The effects of the host and impurity masses appear only in the quantum corrections. (auth)
