Mößbauereffekt in FeCl2, FeSO4 und FeSO4 · 7 H2O

Mößbauereffect measurements were performed with FeCl₂, FeSO₄ and FeSO₄ · 7 H₂O in the temperature range between 5 and 300 ?K. The quadrupole splittings at 5 ?K were determined to be (1.300±0.027) mm/sec, (3.650±0.053) mm/sec, and (3.350±0.053) mm/sec respectively. From the temperature dependence of the quadrupole splittings it follows that in FeCl₂ the energy of the excited 3d-electron-level isδ=150 cm^?1, in FeSO₄ δ ₁=360 cm^?1 andδ ₂=1680 cm^?1 and in FeSO₄ · 7 H₂Oδ ₁=480 cm^?1 andδ ₂=1300 cm^?1. The magnitudes of the magnetic field at the iron nucleus at 5 ?K are (202±8) kOe for FeSO₄ and (0±4) kOe for FeCl₂.
