Mössbauer radiation was generated by synchrotron x rays for use in Mössbauer absorption and scattering spectroscopy. Like a conventional Mössbauer source, the synchrotron Mössbauer source (SMS) emits single-line radiation of about natural linewidth, but in addition the emitted radiation is fully recoilless, highly directed, and of pure linear polarization. First Mössbauer transmission spectra were measured with common resonance absorbers including stainless steel, iron, and Invar. Applications of the SMS are discussed.
