Following the long-standing tradition of the Seeheim-Workshops on Mossbauer Spectroscopy, the main topics covered are: new technical developments such as the techniques of Nuclear Inelastic Scattering (NIS) and Nuclear Forward Scattering (NFS) of Synchrotron Radiation and their applications in studying lattice dynamics, magnetism and surface phenomena; investigations of molecular structural and bonding properties in biomolecules and coordination compounds; problems related to geochemistry and earth sciences; and applications of Mossbauer spectroscopy in molecular magnetism and photomagnetism. The book should serve as a source of great actuality to physicists, chemists and geoscientists employing the Mossbauer effect and other hyperfine interaction techniques to explore solid state properties of bulk materials as well as surface phenomena.
