Abstract
The use of n-capture gamma rays for studies of some topics in condensed
matter physics is reviewed. These include the study of Debye
temperatures of some metallic elements and molecular gases. Properties
of 2-dimensional systems such as adsorbed gases on graphite and also of
graphite intercalated compounds are discussed in detail. In particular,
the zero-point energies of the vibrational and librational potentials of
the molecules with respect to the adsorbing surfaces was determined.
