Abstract By the method of time differential perturbed angular distribution following a nuclear reaction, the relaxation rateT r −1 of the 8 msI π=10+ isomer of132Xe has been measured in liquid Te. Between 670 °K (supercooled liquid) and 1,000 °K the rate decreases from about 720/s by about a factor of two. From existing experimental material it is concluded thatT r −1 is mainly due to quadrupolar interaction (T r −1 ≈T Q −1 ). Its magnitude is discussed considering the metallic and the noble gas limit as models for the Xe-Te-interactions. The temperature dependenceT Q(T) apparently does not correlate with the diffusion constant of Te in contrast to a simplified theoretical treatment. — The nuclearg value of the isomer has been determined to be g=(−)0.195(5) thus confirming the configuration (vh11/2)2.
