Abstract
This overview introduces nuclear resonant scattering techniques with synchrotron radiation. After a focus on nuclear resonant scattering in general, two popular methods with a wide range of applications, nuclear resonant inelastic X-ray scattering and synchrotron Mossbauer spectroscopy are described in greater detail. The inelastic method provides specific vibrational information such as the phonon density of states. The Mossbauer method permits determination of hyperfine interactions. Nuclear resonant techniques take full advantage of the unique properties of synchrotron radiation: intensity, collimation, time structure, and polarization. As a result both methods discussed here have led to novel applications for materials under extreme conditions, proteins with biological functionality, and magnetic nanostructures.
