Industrial Applications of the Mossbauer Effect

ISIAME 2000 was organized by the Condensed Matter and Materials Physics Research Group at Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia. It brought together an international group of research scientists and engineers from academia and industry to present details of the most recent investigations on industrially related topics and projects using Mossbauer Spectroscopy as a primary analytical technique. These proceedings inciude the papers presented under the broad topics of Chemistry, Surfaces, Materials Processing, Industrial Processing, and Magnetic and Electronic Materials. Specific research areas drawing much interest include corrosion, catalysis, mechanical alloying, petrochemical, steel and mineralogical processing, nano-phase materials and environmental and pollution monitoring. The book is of particular interest to university researchers and a very broad range of industrial R&D groups who desire to broaden their knowledge of the latest applications and methods of highly resolved spectroscopic analysis of their products.
