Mössbauer Effect in 57Fe in Copper and the Spin-Compensated State

Abstract

The results of Mössbauer experiments on dilute Fe in Cu in high external magnetic fields (42–146 kOe) are presented here as evidence for significant destruction of the spin‐compensated state by a magnetic field for which ${\mathrm{\mu H}}_0{\mathrm{\sim kT}}_K$ , where ${\mathrm{kT}}_K$ is on the order of the energy change associated with the formation of the spin‐compensated state.
