This project will entail an investigation to determine if Nuclear Gamma Resonance Spectroscopy (M&ouml;ssbauer Effect) can be used to study soils and predict the oxidation state as related to different types of soils (shale, clay, bituminous, etc.) Task Descriptions: 1)M&ouml;ssbauer investigations on soil samples 2)M&ouml;ssbauer investigations on soils as a function of depth 3)Preparation of final report Milestones, Dates of Completion: Orientation, 6-25-99 Gathering of soil samples, 7-2-99 Experiments on variant soil types, 7-9-99 Gathering of soils at variant depths, 7-16-99 Experiments on soils of variant depths, 7-23-99 Analysis of results, 8-4-99 Writing of final report, 8-11-99 Total Budget: $2,000.00 Student Involvement: One graduate research associate (who is also a high school physics teacher) One undergraduate research assistant Relationship to other Research or Projects: This project is part of the MSU Physics Department's on-going magnetic materials and meteorites research.
