Mössbauer spectroscopy with high velocity resolution: New possibilities in biomedical research

Mössbauer spectroscopy with a high velocity resolution: Advances in biomedical, pharmaceutical, cosmochemical and nanotechnological research

“…The first results of the application of Mössbauer spectroscopy with a high velocity resolution in biomedical research were recently considered in [11][12][13][14][15][16]. One of the main results obtained in the study of iron storage protein ferritin extracted from human liver demonstrated that an increase in statistical counting rate in the spectrum cannot compensate an increase in velocity resolution (in the number of spectral points) [17].…”

Comparative study of the iron cores in human liver ferritin, its pharmaceutical models and ferritin in chicken liver and spleen tissues using Mössbauer spectroscopy with a high velocity resolution

“…According to the core-shell model the Mössbauer spectra of ferritin were fitted using two paramagnetic doublets at 295 K and two magnetic sextets at 4.2 K. For Imferon, one of the ferritin models, the proposed structure of the iron core consisted of two nonequivalent positions of ferric ions, therefore an approach with two components was also applied to fit the Mössbauer spectra of Imferon [9]. However, some authors think that it is insufficient to use only two components to fit such complicated spectra [8,[10][11][12]. In particular, an application of the Mössbauer spectroscopy with a high velocity resolution showed that the best fit of the room temperature Mössbauer spectra of ferritin and Imferon was obtained using a superposition of four and three quadrupole doublets, respectively [11,13,14].…”

Comparative study of iron oxide nanoparticles as-prepared and dispersed in Copaiba oil using Mössbauer spectroscopy with low and high velocity resolution

“…(see, for instance [14][15][16][17][18]). It was shown recently that improvement in velocity resolution in Mössbauer spectroscopy leads to new possibilities in the investigation of various samples from biomolecules up to meteorites and nanocomposites [19][20][21][22][23].…”
