We report on the observation of nuclear resonant forward scattering of
synchrotron radiation from nuclei. A temperature
stabilized α-
crystal Bragg backscattering
high-resolution monochromator
with a relative energy resolution of
was introduced.
As first spectroscopic applications the hyperfine parameters in
, USb and DySb were determined.
The energy of the nuclear transition in
was
measured to be
,
40 times more precisely than reported before.
The results open the field of nuclear resonance spectroscopy on antimony
compounds taking advantage of the outstanding features of 3rd-generation
synchrotron sources. Nuclear resonance scattering on Sb compounds
at these sources allows element-specific dynamical studies
on thermoelectric materials as well as studies on magnetism in micro- and
nanometer dimensional systems like spintronic devices.
