Hyperfine interaction at111Cd in manganese

The hyperfine interaction is studied in two different crystal lografic forms of Mn. In the -Mn no magnetic, but a distinct electric quadrupole interaction is found. Effects of heat treatment are discussed. For the -Mn two magnetic field sites are found. Their temperature dependence and dependence on the In concentration are discussed.     

Mössbauer spectroscopy of supported bimetallic catalysts: 1∶5 FeM/SiO2 (M=Ru,Rh, Pd,Ir, Pt)

Mössbauer spectra of SiO₂-supported bimetallic FeM (M=Ru, Rh, Pd, Ir, and Pt) with FeM=15 arter treatments such as reduction, exposure to CO and passivation in air are described and compared with previous results obtained on 11 FeM/SiO₂ catalysts.     

Thermal conductivity and specific heat of amorphous Zr0.67Ni0.33 after structural relaxation

Low-temperature measurements of the thermal conductivity (0.3KT5K) and of the specific heatC (0.07KT3.5K) of splat-cooled amorphous superconducting Zr_0.67Ni_0.33(T _c 2.7K) after different annealing stages are reported. increases progressively (up to 55%) after annealing. An analysis of with the help of normal-state measurements belowT _c in an overcritical field shows that the phonon-electron scattering remains unaltered after annealing. Hence the increase in must be entirely attributed to structure-induced (intrinsic) scattering, i.e. by two-level tunneling states (TLS) at low temperatures (T1K). The specific heat shows a small decrease aboveT _c (by 8%) which is attributed to a small diminution of the electronic density of states at the Fermi level and to a small increase in the Debye temperature. ForTT _c where TLS dominate, the specific heatC decreases less upon annealing than expected from the increase of in the standard tunneling model. This points to a change in the TLS relaxation time spectrum upon annealing, as observed previously for Zr _x Cu_1–x glasses.
