introduction of the term spin glass, it is shown how very detailed information about
local moments, local susceptibilities and magnetic dynamics above the ordering temperature is obtained with help of high field Mössbauer spectroscopy. In all cases it is
clear that results of accompanying investigations, as for example detailed structure
analysis, are necessary to interpret the results of the Mössbauer measurements correctly. In the ideal case the measurements are accompanied also by theoretical band
structure calculations. In that case most information can be gained.
Acknowledgements This chapter reviews some studies accomplished in last decades in the Mössbauer group of the Institute of Solid State Physics, TU Wien, Austria, conducted by its founder
Walter Steiner, who initiated these investigations. Some of the work is part of PhD theses of Adrian
Pösinger, Joachim Bogner and Robert Ruzitschka. Special thanks goes to Heiner Winkler for his
help in extending our program to be able to calculate relaxation spectra. Thanks also to Peter Mohn,
Peter Blaha and Karlheinz Schwarz for performing theoretical band structures calculations. Peter
Rogl, Andreas Leithe-Jaspers, and Zakir Seidov have prepared some of the discussed samples.
Numerous other colleagues and students, who cannot all be mentioned here, have contributed to
the presented results.
