We have observed single-nucleus quantum beats in the incoherent
scattering of synchrotron radiation by the 14.4 keV transition of .
The 20 ns beat period characteristic of the nuclear excited-state splitting
was clearly seen when enriched metallic samples were excited at the nuclear
resonance energy or far from the resonance energy (i.e. accompanied by phonon
excitation). The phase of the beat pattern is seen to change with the scattering
angle in a manner consistent with the angular-momentum change of the (M1)
transition.
