Abstract: | The line shape of the 773 keV emission line emitted by187Re depends on the slowing down of the recoil the atom receives in the precedingβ transition. Using the nuclear resonance fluorescence method the line profile was studied for sources where the radioactive atoms are embedded in single crystals of W and WSe2 and in polycrystalline samples of Nb. The experimental results for W and Nb are in complete agreement with predictions by a theory in which the slowing down is calculated starting from a Born-v. Karman lattice model. The temperature dependence of the line shape yields the phonon lifetimes in W and Nb (W) to beτ(300 K)=(2.4±0.3)ps andτ(300 K)=(1.7±0.2) ps, respectively. Measurements for the slowing down of the recoiling atoms perpendicularly to and along the hexagonal axis of WSe2 yielded an anisotropy in qualitative agreement with expected values. |
