Abstract
By Mössbauer spectroscopy, the anisotropy of recoilless γ radiation emitted from a jumping atom is observed. The set of interstitial sites is determined for localized diffusion of Fe in an interstitial cage in Al. From the temperature dependence of the broadening of the Mössbauer resonance 18 (± 1) meV is obtained for the activation energy of this process.
