Applications of the Moessbauer Effect to the Study of Mixed-Valence Compounds.
Abstract
The principal utility of Moessbauer Effect spectroscopy in the study of mixed-valence materials is its ability (through measurement of the chemical shift) to distinguish between different oxidation states of the same element in similar chemical environments. By using Moessbauer Effect spectroscopy it is possible to distinguish between trapped and delocalized valence states in mixed-valence compounds. In addition, the rather long lifetime of the Moessbauer experiment, as compared to other forms of spectroscopy, permits evaluation of the rate of intervalence electron exchange in mixed-valence materials.
