Abstract:
The Mössbauer effect in 119Sn was applied to obtain information on the local dynamical properties in frozen rare gases. The results show a hardening of th phonon spectrum for the matrix isolated tetramethyl tin molecule in neon and argon. No such enhancement is observed for the matrices of solid krypton and xenon. An explanation based on geometrical considerations is proposed.
