In light-processing systems, light energy is converted into a photocurrent due to the photoelectric effect. This project focuses on the development of a high-precision energy-to-voltage conversion technique to optimize signal processing in light-processing systems, specifically for applications in space analytics or solid state physikcs, such as Mössbauer spectroscopy. Analog circuit development plays a vital role as downstream voltage conversion is necessary for signal processing. The objective is to enhance the signal quality and improve the signal-to-noise ratio through the design, optimization, and comparison of various circuits for voltage conversion. The development process involves the design and optimization of amplifier circuits, supplemented with the incorporation of filters and/or regulators for further improvement. A transimpedance amplifier is approximated as a second-order low-pass filter, while a state controller is designed and analyzed to efficient transient oscillation of the system towards optimal amplitude values for subsequent signal processing. The project's results contribute to the advancement of light-processing systems, enabling more precise analysis of light energy in Mössbauer spectroscopy. The findings are presented in a series of scientific publications, showcasing the effectiveness of the developed circuits and their impact on signal quality. Future work could focus on further optimization and validation of the circuits in real-world applications to confirm their performance and reliability. Overall, this project emphasizes the significance of meticulous circuit development and optimization for enhancing signal processing in light-processing systems, thus supporting their application in space analytics.
The miniaturized Mössbauer-spectrometer (MIMOS II), originally devised by Göstar Klingelhöfer, is further developed by the Renz group at the Leibniz University Hanover in cooperation with the Hanover University of Applied Sciences and Arts. A new processing unit with a two-dimensional (2D) data acquisition was developed by M. Jahns. The advantage of this data acquisition is that no thresholds need to be set before the measurement. The energy of each photon is determined and stored with the velocity of the drive. After the measurement, the relevant area can be selected for the Mössbauer spectrum. Now we have expanded the evaluation unit with a power supply for a MIMOS drive and a MIMOS PIN detector. So we have a very compact MIMOS transmissions measurement setup. With this setup it is possible to process the signals of two detectors serially. Currently we are working on a parallel signal processing.
Pressing of Functionalized Polymer Composite Materials to Improve Mössbauer Measurement Signals
(2024)
Coordination compounds, like iron(II) triazole complexes, exhibit spin crossover (SCO) behavior at around room temperature. Therefore, they are interesting for a variety of possible applications, and it is convenient to integrate them into polymers. Due to a reduction of the iron content and thus also 57Fe content in the sample through integration in polymers, Mössbauer measurements are only possible with greater difficulty or very long measurement times without expensive enrichment of the samples with 57Fe. So, other ways of improving the Mössbauer signal for these composite materials are necessary. Therefore, we pressed these composite materials to improve the Mössbauer spectra. In this study, we synthesized an iron(II) triazole spin crossover complex and an electrospun polymer complex composite nanofiber material including the same complex. For both products, Mössbauer measurements were performed at room temperature before and after using a press to show that the complex composite is not harmed through pressing. We investigate the influence of the pressing impact on the Mössbauer measurements in the context of measurement statistics and the measured signals. We show that pressing is not connected to any changes in the sample regarding the spin and oxidation state. We present that pressing improves the statistics of the Mössbauer measurements significantly. Furthermore, we use SEM measurements and PXRD to investigate whether or not the obtained fiber mats are destroyed in the pressing process.
