Abstract
The anomalous charge states formed after the electron capture decay, of57Co in FeSO4·H2O and FeSO4·7H2O are investigated using the conventional Mössbauer emission spectroscopy and a gamma-X ray coincidence method. This method is based on the idea that a Mössbauer spectrum observed with the coincidence technique only when K-X rays are emitted is reflected by isolated events with a reduced influence of the Auger-electron self-irradiation. The formation of the anomalous electronic and structural configuration is attributed to the self-radiolysis of the H2O and SO 2−4 ligands in the nearest and the second nearest coordination shells around the decaying atom.
