What is the Mössbauer effect?
Nuclear fusion
Recoilless nuclear resonance fluorescence
Quantum tunneling
Electron capture
Answer
Recoilless nuclear resonance fluorescence, known as the Mössbauer effect, is a phenomenon where gamma rays are emitted and absorbed by atomic nuclei without recoil. This occurs when the energy of the gamma rays matches the energy difference between two nuclear energy levels, and the nucleus is bound within a crystal lattice.
