The isomeric shift on atomic spectral lines is the energy or frequency shift in atomic spectra, which occurs when one replaces one nuclear isomer by another.
Energy balance then implies gamma rays are emitted with a spread of energies. It is made possible by fixing atomic nuclei in the lattice of solids so that energy is not lost in recoil during the emission and absorption of radiation. When an atom is part of a crystal lattice, however, the entire lattice may recoil resulting in a quantized vibrational energy termed a phonon. Finally a bibliography of books and web sites is given.

However, there appears to be no textbook available for final year bachelor students, nor for people working in. Mossbauer effect recoilless emission and reabsorption embed the emitting and absorbing nuclei in crystals and cool them down negligible momentum transfer during emission due to much larger mass virtually stationary resonant absorption if the absorber nucleus is in the same state as the source nucleus. The energy levels are affected by the oxidation state, electronic spin state, and ligand environment. Then the principal factors of a mossbauer spectrum are illustrated with spectra taken from research work. The recoil energy associated with absorption or emission of a photon can be described by the conservation of momentum.
