Isomer shift determination in Eu compounds using stroboscopic detection of synchrotron radiation

The first application of stroboscopic detection of nuclear resonant scattering with synchrotron radiation on Eu-151 is reported. It is shown that stroboscopic detection is a useful technique for the determination of isomer shifts and this is confirmed by a measurement of the isomer shift of Eu-151 in EuPd2Si2 at pressures ranging from ambient pressure to 5 GPa. The results are compared with previous measurements.
