What Other Phenomena Involve Nuclear Excitations Coupling with Lattice Phonons?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Mossbauer spectroscopy exemplifies the coupling of nuclear (de)excitations with lattice phonons, highlighting a significant phenomenon in condensed matter physics. The discussion also references the spin-lattice relaxation process in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) as another instance of this coupling. These examples illustrate the intricate interactions between nuclear states and lattice dynamics, which are crucial for understanding various physical processes in materials science.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Mossbauer spectroscopy principles
  • Familiarity with nuclear (de)excitation mechanisms

Mossbauer spectroscopy is an example of a nuclear (de)excitation coupling to a lattice phonons

Are there any other examples of this phenomena ?
