Скачать или смотреть CHEM 312 Lecture 6 Gamma Decay part 1

Gamma decay is described in two lectures. The first lecture covers the fundamentals of gamma decay and second lecture describes Moessbauer spectroscopy.  Different methods to find data on gamma decay yields for decay of isotopes are presented. The energetics involved in gamma decay are provided. This includes recoil from gamma, which is exploited in Moessbauer spectroscopy.  Decay types in gamma transitions are explained, focusing on electromagnetic basis for the gamma emission.  Transition probabilities and internal conversions inherent to gamma decay are covered. Isotope examples for internal conversion electrons are given.  Angular correlations in gamma decay are described with an experimental example provided. The use of gamma decay in Moessbauer spectroscopy is discussed. Part 1 is 34 minutes.
