Abstract

Possible mechanisms for the partial transparency of a thin Mössbauer absorber under nuclear level anticrossing conditions were studied. The conditions leading to the most interesting transparency mechanism due to quantum interference were determined. The siderite (FeCO 3 ) in which this effect was experimentally observed was considered.

Transparency of a thin absorber in Mössbauer optics with allowance for electron relaxation

É. K. Sadykov, Аринин Виталий Валерьевич, Farit G. Vagizov +1 more

A model of Mössbauer absorption in the nuclear level anticrossing regime with allowance for electron relaxation has been proposed. The role of quantum interference in the creation of particular transparency on Mössbauer transitions under these conditions has been determined and the dependence of this characteristic on the relaxation and mixing parameters has been obtained using the stochastic theory of Mössbauer relaxation spectra.

Transparency of a thin absorber in Moessbauer optics: Effect of electron relaxation

É. K. Sadykov, Farit G. Vagizov, Аринин Виталий Валерьевич +1 more

A model of Moessbauer absorption taking into account the effects of the electron relaxation and the nuclear levels anticrossing simultaneously has been proposed. The dependence of the absorption deficit (transparency) on the relaxation and mixing parameters has been obtained using the stochastic theory of Moessbauer relaxation spectra. The role of quantum interference in occurrence of a partial transparency on Moessbauer transitions has been explored under these conditions.

Suppression ofγ-photon absorption via quantum interference

We show that the interference effects (similar to electromagnetically induced transparency, which was widely studied earlier in electronic transitions in optics) may appear in γ-radiation at nuclear transitions under the condition of nuclear level anticrossing. We demonstrate it also experimentally in optically thin samples of FeCO3.

Nuclear level mixing-induced interference in FeCO3

S. Gheysen, J. Odeurs

We present a detailed description and a consistent explanation of the transparency observed in the Mössbauer absorption spectra at a nuclear level mixing in FeCO3. We develop a model for scattering in this nuclear Λ system in a Maxwell–Schrödinger approach, taking into account multiple scattering and polarization effects. It is shown that the level mixing scheme not only yields an expected Stark splitting, but, due to the unequal relaxation rates and transition strengths, an additional interference term is present. Therefore, this scheme is equivalent to the Λ scheme considered for EIT in quantum optics. The interference in the absorption of the gamma radiation can be destructive, leading to a partial transparency, but can also be constructive. Both types of interference are present in the observed spectra.

Controlled quantum interference of Mössbauer radiation in resonant scattering

É. K. Sadykov, Юричук Александр Александрович, Farit G. Vagizov +1 more

Previously, our group described a quantum-interference effect (“valve effect”) to be expected in the resonant scattering of Mössbauer photons in the NMR mode. In the present study, it is shown that similar effects also occur in resonant-scattering spectra at the point of anticrossing of nuclear sublevels. Dynamical level anticrossing is also examined in this context.

Aspects of EIT with gamma radiation

S. Gheysen, Romain Coussement, Hajime Muramatsu +3 more

We have observed the effect of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a nuclear system. A series of Mössbauer measurements was performed on a single crystal of natural FeCO3. When the condition of nuclear level crossing is fulfilled, a clear reduction in absorption or transparency is seen at the point of level crossing. This reduced absorption cannot be ascribed to saturation effects because of the specific geometry of the experiment. We present an explanation in terms of level mixing by a small non-axial component of the electric field gradient. It can be shown that such a scheme is equivalent, at least in principle, with the schemes considered for EIT in quantum optics.
