    Abstract

    The LiFeAs superconductor is studied by 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy to detect possible changes in the hyperfine parameters in terms of temperature upon passing the superconductivity-transition-temperature at ∼16 K. With decreasing temperature, a rather fast growth of spectral area and isomer shift below Tc, peaking at ∼6 K was seen. This indicates an increase in the stiffness of the lattice followed by softening.
