Mössbauer line sharpening

A novel analytical method of Mössbauer spectra resolution improvement has been developed. This method gives an opportunity to narrow the effective line of a source and an absorber by simple integral transformations of an experimental spectrum, that is, to transform the Lorentzian linewidth to the Lorentzian power one. The resulting spectrum may be considered as a new experimental one since the statistical error in each point of the spectrum is evaluated exactly. The procedure of sharpening gives many advantages for Mössbauer spectra analysis. To illustrate this, a number of applications of the proposed method is demonstrated.
