The electric field gradient at the nuclear site of177Lu in Zn and In

  • Published:

Abstract

The electric quadrupole interaction frequencyν Q =eQV zz /h of177Lu in single crystals of Zn and In has been measured by the method of low temperature nuclear orientation. The results are

$$\begin{gathered} v_Q ({}^{177}Lu\underline {Zn} ) = - 180(5)MHz \hfill \\ v_Q ({}^{177}Lu\underline {In} ) = - 19(5)MHz. \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$

With the known quadrupole moment of177LuQ=3.39 (2) b we derive for the electric field gradientV zz (Lu Zn)=−2.20 (5)×1017 V/cm2 andV zz (Lu In)=−0.23 (6)×1017 V/cm2. The results are compared with magnetostriction measurements of silver single crystals doped with rare earth atoms.
