Dear colleagues, I am a physics universitary teacher working in a little university in Brazil’s inner countryside. I have developed some research works on iron-cobalt based magnetic alloys ( references below), with the cooperation of Dr. A.I.C.Persiano and Dr.J.D.Ardisson, researchers respectively from the Physics Department of UFMG and Applied Physics Laboratory of CDTN-MG, both institutes located in Belo Horizonte, MG, 200 km far away from the city where I am nowadays working.

Dear Colleagues; We are interested in performing Mössbauer experiments with W-182. We’d appreciate letting us know if some laboratory performs experiments with this source. F. Plazaola Elektrika eta Elektronika Saila UPV/EHU P.k. 644 48080 Bilbao, Spain

Dear Mossbauer spectroscopists, We have an Austin MFD-9600 driver and a VF-1000 furnace for high temp. Mossbauer measurements. Unfortunately, we have misplaced a part of the manual - the one pertaining to the XT - 16 temperature controller. For some reason, no matter what the set point, lower/upper limits, the temperature does not go above 40 C whether in auto or manual mode. Everything else seems to be okay. We think that this is a problem with the settings and can be set right using the right set of instructions for the temperature controller.

Dear Colleagues, I am forwarding to the list the announcement of the organisers of ICAME 2007. Sincerely, Denes L.

MONASH UNIVERSITY POSITIONS Monash University, in Melbourne, Australia, is currently advertising post-doc positions, with applications closing on July 31. Details are at www.monash.edi.au/research/academics/funding/information/monash/monash- fellowships.html Also the School of Physics is advertising a Senior Lectureship, with details at www.physics.monash.edu.au/employment.html I am drawing this to the attention of readers of this web site because I will be formally retiring at the end of 2007 and my laboratory has no obvious new owner. The Mössbauer equipment includes four LHe cryostats, one with a 14 T magnet. Two have cold source arrangements and have been used for Gd-155 and Au-197. There are also two unique spectrometers for taking sequential spectra as a function of time for some reproducible time dependent variation, with a dwell time/spectrum down to <1μs. For those also interested in synchrotrons, access to international synchrotrons is available on a competitive basis through the Australian Synchrotron Research Program (ASRP). Details at www.ansto.gov.au/natfac/about_asrp.html. A new synchrotron is being built at Monash to open in 2007, but it will not have a Mössbauer beam line.
