Abstract

The effects of non-collimation of γ-rays and finite dimensions of source and detector upon the isomer shift, line broadening and line height of Mössbauer spectra have been determined by means of a two-dimensional angular distribution f(r, ρ) that weights a Lorentzian lineshape function. This distribution function, along with a few approximations, allow one to calculate, with ease, these Mössbauer spectral parameters. Our expressions, valid for finite dimensions, of source, detector and absorber, generalize previous calculations. As a result, we can say that when a finite source (Rs = 0.4 cm) is 10 cm distance from a detector (Rd = 1.4 cm), the non-collimation of the γ-rays generates distortions of the absorption line that are still within the experimental error.
