Many older Mössbauer spectroscopists consider the 1970s and 80s as the golden
years of Mössbauer spectroscopy. At least to the opinion of the author the method has
bright future and the really shining golden years may still be ahead of us, especially
since novel concepts for the use of synchrotron radiation and XFELs in nuclear
resonance are on the horizon.
Acknowledgements The experimental and theoretical work presented in this chapter has been
performed by the members of the Biophysics and Medical Physics group at the Department of
Physics at TU Kaiserslautern and the many collaborators of the group. Special thanks goes to Dr.
H. Auerbach and Dr. A. Reinhardt for their support with the drawing of several figures. The author
would like to thank Dr. J. A. Wolny for his continuing work in the field of SCO research and quantum
chemical calculations. Several students contributed to the publications referenced in this chapter. In
addition to Dr. H. Auerbach and Dr. A. Reinhardt mentioned already above, I want to name Dr. B.
Moeser, Dr. A. Janoschka, Dr. S. Rackwitz, Dr. I. Faus and Dr. T. O. Bauer. On behalf of the many
outstanding biochemists and chemists with whom the author has worked over the last two decades,
special thanks are due to Prof. F. Ann Walker for her continuous support and guidance.
This work is dedicated in memoriam of two longtime companions. My academic teacher and
mentor Prof. Dr. A. X. Trautwein as well as to one of his students with whom I had the pleasure to
work with, Dr. P. Wegner, who passed away much too early.
