Popis: The effect of selfabsorption in Mossbauer sources is studied in detail. Spectra were measured using an old 57Co/Rh source of 74MBq activity with an original activity of ca. 3.7GBq and a 0.15GBq57Co/α − Fe source magnetized by an in-plane magnetic field of 0.2 T. The 57Co/α − Fe source of a thickness of 25 μ was used both from the active and the inactive side giving cause to very different selfabsorption effects. The absorber was a single crystal of ferrous ammonium sulphate hexahydrate (FAS). Its absorption properties were taken over from a detailed study (Bull et al., Hyperfine Interact. 94(1–3), 1; Spiering et al. 2). FAS (space group P21/c) crystallizes as flat plates containing the (\(\overline {2}\)01) plane. The γ-direction was orthogonal to the crystal plate. The 57Co atoms of the 57Co/Rh source were assumed to be homogeneously distributed over a 6μ thick Rh foil and to follow a one dimensional diffusion profile in the 25 μ Fe-foil. The diffusion length was fitted to 10 μ. The theory follows the Blume-Kistner equations for forward scattering (Blume and Kistner, Phys. Rev. 171, 417, 3) by integrating over the source sampled up to 128 layers.
