Abstract

In NMR and NQR experiments, Δn(r) cannot be measured directly but one can obtain indirect information about it. On the other hand, the electric field gradient (EFG) is a directly measurable physical quantity in NMR and NQR experiments. However, the EFG is directly related to Δn(r) and ΔV(r), therefore its evaluation will test the validity of Δn(r) and ΔV(r) obtained by different methods. As has already been discussed, the EFG is zero in a pure cubic crystal due to its symmetry but the presence of an impurity gives rise to a finite EFG. In noncubic crystals, the EFG is finite even in the pure form but these systems are not of interest here.
