Abstract
All major aspects of the problem of obtaining site populations from Mossbauer spectroscopy are addressed. A powerful analytic method for deconvoluting the transmission integral is developed and many new single line thickness effect results are given. The intrinsic absorber cross section is first obtained by our deconvolution and tailored filtering method. The site-specific spectral contributions to the cross section are then distinguished to the extent that this is possible. Corresponding spectral areas are exactly proportional to products of site-specific effective recoiless fractions and the required populations. Methods for obtaining the required recoiless fractions are described. Experimental self-consistency tests are suggested and all relevant underlying assumptions are discussed.
