Biography/History:

Richard A. Dunlap is a Research Professor at Dalhousie University in Canada. He joined Dalhousie University in 1981 and became a full professor in 1990. He was the director of the Dalhousie University Institute for Research in Materials from 2009 to 2015. Having published more than 300 refereed research papers, his research interests include nuclear spectroscopies, magnetic materials, quasicrystals, critical phenomena and advanced batteries materials. He is the author of thirteen books, including seven with IOP ebooks.

Summary:

In this updated and significantly expanded second edition of The Mössbauer Effect, an introduction to the Mössbauer effect is provided for the non-specialist with a general background in undergraduate physics. A wide variety of Mössbauer applications are covered. These include general relativity, as well as the physical and chemical properties of materials. Applications in other fields including mineralogy, archaeology, space science, and biology are discussed. The book also contains descriptions of some more advanced Mössbauer spectroscopic techniques, such as ion implantation and synchrotron radiation based Mössbauer spectroscopy. This second edition includes a new chapter on experimental methods and updated and greatly expanded material on applications of the Mössbauer effect.
