Enhanced optical fluorescence by resonant Mössbauer excitation

Enhanced optical Eu 2+ fluorescence in Eu-doped CaF 2 crystals is observed following resonant absorption of Mössbauer γ-rays by Eu 3+ nuclei. The effect is due to scintillation fluorescence from Eu 2+ ions excited by conversion electrons from decaying 21.6 keV 151Eu.
