Moessbauer spectroscopy study on the effect of infrared and gamma radiation on the structure of minerals. Part of a coordinated programme on development of methods for application of Moessbauer spectroscopy in mineralogy, soil sciences and the study of ceramics

A number of fundamental and applied problems were studied by Moessbauer spectroscopy. (a) The observation of Moessbauer spectra in iron silacate deerite with respect to the structure of this mineral was interpreted by charge transfer between iron ions, and correlated with thermally activated electron delocalisation. (b) The studies of local coals showed the suitability of Moessbauer spectroscopy in control of the desulpherisation process. (c) A simple method to use Moessbauer measurement to determine the obstructions in water pipes was developed
