Abstract
The ratio of 0 to N1 conversion coefficients was measured for the 94.7 keV transition in 165Ho and 82.5 keV transition in 166Ho, both in the metal and the trivalent oxide. A 3% increase in 0-conversion was found for the metal caused by the additional contact density of the conduction electrons. Comparison with isomer shift data on the 26 keV transition in 161Dy leads to a value of Δ<r2>=(7.2 ± 1.5)x10-3fm2 for this Mössbauer resonance.
