Mössbauer Mineral Handbook


The Mössbauer Mineral Handbook has been specially prepared to provide complete listings of Mössbauer parameters on minerals for over 8,800 sets of data collected from over 2,500 references. The mineral and author indexes provide concise, ready access to reference and data listings collected by the Mössbauer Effect Data Center through early 1998.

The 2005 edition of the Handbook includes updated Reference, Review Reference, and Special Reference Listings and an updated Author Index through October 2005. Additionally, the Data Indices have been updated to include articles published prior to 1998 that were added to our database after the publication of the First Edition of the Handbook; however, these sections do not include articles published after 1998.

"...the Mössbauer Mineral Handbook constitutes a valuable addition to the Mössbauer literature, serving as an effective aid both for the novice and the experienced researcher...it should definitely be present in every laboratory in which minerals are studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy."

E. Murad, Clay Minerals 33, 675-7 (1998)
