Measurement of 2s and 3s electron spin densities at the iron nucleus in Fe2O3

Abstract
The 2s and 3s contributions to the core polarization at the nuclear site of Fe57 in Fe2 O3 films was measured by internal-conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy with a new high-transmission, high-resolution electrostatic electron spectrometer. The spin-density ratios δns=|ψns(0)|2|ψns(0)|21, δ2s=0.0048(7), and δ3s=+0.0149(33) were determined.
