Following the long-standing tradition of the Seeheim-Workshops on Mossbauer Spectroscopy, 1978, 1983, 1988, 1994 always held in the same traditional place of the Lufthansa Training Center in Seeheim/Germany, the 5^th workshop took place in 2002. The main topics covered are:
-new technical developments such as the techniques of Nuclear Inelastic Scattering (NIS) and Nuclear Forward Scattering (NFS) of Synchrotron Radiation and their applications in studying lattice dynamics, magnetism and surface phenomena;
-investigations of molecular structural and bonding properties in...
