By Mossbauer spectroscopy, the anisotropy of recoilless y radiation emitted from a jumping atom is observed. The set of interstitial sites is determined for localized diffusion of Fe in an interstitial cage in Al. From the temperature dependence of the broadening of the Mossbauer resonance 18 (±1) meV is obtained for the activation energy of this process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
