Promotion of industrial application of multi-element Mössbauer spectroscopy: a useful method for element-specific chemical-state analysis

Keywords

multi-element Mössbauer spectroscopy, chemical-state analysis, electronic state, magnetism, element-specific

Background and Purpose

We have been developing multi-element Mössbauer spectroscopy, which is quite useful for chemical-state and magnetic-state analyses. This method can extract the information of specific element. This method is known as a spectroscopy especially for iron, but our method is applicable for many elements such as Ni, Au, Dy, Eu and so on. We have attempted for industrial application of this method for development and evaluation of industrial materials to promote collaboration between academia and industry.

Project Achievements

In this project we performed several activities: survey of the demand in the industrial application, lecture of the method to the industrial companies, introduction of the method in the promotion event for the public, and so on. Through these activities, we have been able to expand the connection between the university and many companies. Finally, we boot the “Symposium of the Industrial Application of the Mössbauer Effect”.

Future Prospects

We keep promoting this “Symposium of the Industrial Application of the Mössbauer Effect” as a community for academia and industry to exchange the information and discuss for the method. We hope this activity will help the material development and evaluation of products for state-of-the-art technology in Japan.
