Observed Spectrum

Isomer Shift

Interaction of the nuclear charge distribution with the electron cloud surrounding the nuclei in both the absorber and  source.

 

Zeeman Effect (Dipole Interaction)

Interaction of the nuclear magnetic dipole moment with the external applied magnetic field on the nucleus. 

 

Quadrupole Splitting
