dc.description.abstractThe Mossbauer spectrometer has been used in the transmission geometry to measure the isomer shifts and quadrupole splitting of tin and some of its inorganic compounds. The spectrometer has a Moire interferometer for absolute velocity calibration and the velocity data are fitted to a polynomial by the method of least squares. As a check on the velocity calibration, a natural iron foil absorber has been used. The ratio of the g-factors extracted from the iron data is in agreement with published values. The Mossbauer spectral data has been fitted with a sum of Lorentzians and the isomer shift and quadrupole splitting values obtained from these fits are in good agreement with published ones. Using s-electron densities Calculated from relativistic Hartree-Fock method for the various oxidation states of tin the fractional change in nuclear charge radius ΔR/R following a gamma transition has been calculated as (+2.05 ± 0.17) x 10-4. This is in good agreement with published values. From molecular orbital calculations, a configuration of 5s1..25p 2..8 has been suggested for α-tin. No equivalent data exists for β-tin. However, since the isomer shift is directly proportional to the s-electron density at the nuclear site, the measured isomer shift value has been used to suggest a configuration of 5s1.42 5p2.8 for β-tin. This is consistent with the saner shift values for the two allotropes of tin.en_US
