Mössbauer spectroscopy group

Mössbauer spectrometer MS-1101 with a proportional counter.

It is used to study the hyperfine structure of ferrous alloys. As a source of ionizing radiation is used 57Co in the matrix of chromium or rhodium. The spectrometer is equipped with consoles for measurements in a wide temperature range from -196 to 300°C.

Mössbauer spectrometer MS-1101 with a resonant detector.

It allows mössbauer measurements of iron samples irradiated with residual activity. As a source of ionizing radiation is used 57Co in the chromium matrix. A feature of this spectrometer is that for the registration of past g-quantum resonant detector is used, allowing to discriminate parasitic g-rays emitted due to radioactive decay of the material subjected to irradiation in a nuclear reactor. Perhaps the use of the cryostat for measurements in the temperature range from -196°C to room temperature.

Planetary ball mill Pulverizette-7 (a) and the general plan of equipment base (b).

It allows automatic synthesis of powder materials in the laboratory. Regulation of the drum rotation speed up to 800 rpm. To reduce unwanted mass transfer of the material of balls and glasses in the amount of the treated mixture using a headset of high strength steel SHKH15. The design of the mill allows the grinding as in a normal atmosphere and in vacuum or controlled environment. So, to avoid oxidation of the powder mixtures milled in an inert atmosphere of argon.
