Reduction of the recoilless fraction of the Mossbauer spectra in superconductors

  • 1. Sch. of Phys., Hyderabad Univ. (India)

Description

We find that the recoilless fraction of the Mossbauer spectrum is reduced in the superconducting state because of the reduction in the single-phonon frequency due to the electron pairing. The reduction in the recoilless fraction depends on the ratio of the square of the gap energy to the attractive energy. The predicted reduction is in accord with the measurement of the Mossbauer spectra of 57Fe in the Bi4Sr3Ca3Cu3.92Fe0.08O16.36 superconductor. (author). Letter-to-the-editor
