Abstract
This paper deals with the perturbation of low temperature nuclear orientation in an intermediate state by an interaction not axially symmetric around the orientation axis. The directional distribution of the emitted radiation is factorized into initial orientation tensors and perturbation factors known from perturbed angular correlation theory. Low temperature nuclear orientation coefficients have been calculated numerically for111Cd in a polycrystalline sample with axially symmetric electric field gradient. Nuclear orientation experiment on111In in indium host confirms theoretical perturbation predictions and demonstrates the sensitivity of the method on different parameters. Moreover this orientation allows the determination, in magnitude and sign of111In (ground state) nuclear magnetic moment: μ = +5.48(10)μn.
