Question:

The Mössbauer effect was discovered using the decay of the 0.12939 MeV second excited state of 191Ir. The lifetime of this isomer is 0.13 ns.

(a) Compute the width Г of this level.

(b) Compute the recoil energy of a free 191Ir atom that emits the 0.12939 MeV photon.

(c) Resonant (recoilless) absorption occurs when 191Ir is bound into a lattice. If a Doppler shift equal to Г destroys the resonance absorption, show that the Doppler velocity v necessary is given by
