Tóm tắt

A low-temperature setup is described that allows the Mössbauer spectra to be measured with simultaneously detecting gamma quanta, characteristic X-ray radiation, conversion electrons, and Auger electrons in a range of temperatures from 10 K to room temperature. The system comprises a low-temperature detector of electrons, mounted inside a cryostat, and the counters of gamma and X-ray quanta mounted outside the cryostat. Thus, the system implements the method of simultaneous gamma, X-ray, and electron Mössbauer spectroscopy (SGXEMS) proposed in [5] and allows the measurements to be performed in a broad temperature range (from room temperature down to 10 K) with simultaneous investigation of the volume, subsurface, and surface layers of macroscopic crystal samples.
