Moessbauer resonance in 240Pu
- 1. Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, Illinois 60439
Description
The Moessbauer resonance of the 42.9-keV α transition in 240Pu has been observed. As source activity, the α parent 244Cm, with half-life of 18.1 yr, was used. For a CmO2 source and a PuO2 absorbed at 4.2 and 77 K, a single resonance line with a width of about 20% larger than the natural width of 40 mm/sec was observed. In the hexavalent plutonyl compound PuO2C2O4, a quadrupole interaction of vertical-bar e2qQ vertical-bar = 95 mm/sec was found. No isomer shifts could be detected
