Progress in Moessbauer spectroscopy

The developments and achievements in Moessbauer spectroscopy during recent 3 years are reviewed. The use of the Moessbauer effect is still increasing and expanding to all subjects of sciences. Most of the papers concern with fundamental research, some refer to industrial applications and many are about material research. The growth in the Moessbauer literature continues rapidly. During this period of time the number of Moessbauer publications increased from 1500 per year to 1800 per year. Various international conferences in this field were held frequently, which are reviewed largely in the field of Moessbauer spectroscopy. It shows that the field is very much alive
