The Mössbauer effect for Fe 57 in CoCl 2 and CoF 2 has been measured by using them as sources in a resonant absorption experiment. While the CoCl 2 spectra indicate only a 2+ charge state for the Fe 57 ion, the CoF 2 spectra indicate both a 3+ and a 2+ charge state. When a sample of CoF 2 is used as an absorber doped with a small amount of iron enriched in Fe 57 , however, only 2+ charge state lines appear in the absorption spectra. This is interpreted as resulting from a local environment change associated with Auger aftereffects following K‐capture. The internal magnetic field has been estimated for each compound below its Néel temperature. Values of (49 ± 2) kOe for CoCl 2 and (245 ± 2) kOe for CoF 2 were found at 10 and 11 °K, respectively, for the field at an Fe 2+ nucleus.
