Analysis of the Mössbauer quadrupole spectra of some amorphous fluorides

Abstract
Quadrupole distribution fits have been made of high-statistics Mössbauer spectra of some amorphous fluorides. The most important role of the value given to linewidth is considered. To analyze the resulting P(Δ), the ratio q=Δ2Δ2 is calculated and compared to the values of Czjzek's model. The data are analyzed for amorphous KFeF4 samples and for various glasses whose homogeneity was also ascertained.
