Temperature dependence of the electric field gradient in noncubic metals

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

The quadrupole hyperfine interaction of111Cd in Cd, In, Sn, and of67Zn,69Ge in Zn was measured with high accuracy using TDPAC and TDPAD methods; in addition the systems117In in Cd and In, and113Sn in Cd were investigated. The temperature dependence of the electric field gradienteq(T) can be reproduced by the simple relationeq(T)/eq(0)=1—B⋅T 3/2 over a range of temperatures from a few K up to the melting point. A comparison with other experiments was carried out to test the universality of this empirical relation. In particular, high precision NQR experiments on Ga, In and Sb strongly support this relation. It is discussed whether lattice vibrations can explain the observed temperature variation or whether the experimental data indicate the need for a new description. Some new ideas suggesting a basically different model are given.
