In this updated and significantly expanded second edition of "The Moessbauer Effect", an introduction to the Moessbauer effect is provided for the non-specialist with a general background in undergraduate physics. A wide variety of Moessbauer applications are covered. These include general relativity, as well as the physical and chemical properties of materials. Applications in other fields including mineralogy, archaeology, space science, and biology are discussed. The book also contains descriptions of some more advanced Moessbauer spectroscopic techniques, such as ion implantation and synchrotron radiation based Moessbauer spectroscopy. This second edition includes a new chapter on experimental methods and updated and greatly expanded material on applications of the Moessbauer effect.
