Abstract

It was shown earlier that quadrupole interactions are absent in pure cubic metals due to symmetry reasons. However, the presence of impurities breaks the cubic symmetry thereby yielding finite quadrupole interactions. Experimental study of quadrupole interactions is of much importance from the viewpoint of examining the electronic structure of dilute metallic alloys. It gives information about the electronic distribution and EFG around an isolated impurity atom. The following methods are used to study quadrupole interactions in dilute alloys:

  • The NMR technique

  • The NQR technique

  • Perturbed angular correlation (PAC) and distribution (PAD)

  • The Mössbauer effect (ME)
