Mössbauer spectroscopy of sulphidic minerals

Abstract

Principles of the Mössbauer effect and the possibilities of its utilization for the study of sulphidic minerals are discussed. There is possibility to apply the Mössbauer spectroscopy in mineralogy for the identification of sulphides („fingerprint“ technique, geobarometer) and for the study of their bulk changes as a consequence of mechanical activation.
