Measurement of 2s and 3s electron-spin densities in iron metal and Fe2O3
Abstract
The 2s and 3s electron-spin densities at the nuclear site of the 57Fe nucleus in iron metal and Fe2O3 were measured by a new technique combining the Mössbauer effect with electron spectroscopy. The ratios of wave functions at the nucleus |Ψ↑ns(0)|2|Ψ↓ns(0)|2 for 2s and 3s electrons were measured for iron metal and Fe2O3, and were found to agree in sign and order of magnitude with theoretical calculations of the core-polarization contributions to the magnetic hyperfine interactions.
