Abstract The pressure variation of the electric field gradients at substitutional tantalum atoms on the two lattice sites (A and B) of ω-zirconium have been determined to be (∂ lnq A/∂P)T = −1.05(26)10−3 kbar−1 and (∂ lnq B/∂P)T = +6.03(40)10−3 kbar−1. In addition the thermal expansion coefficients of the unit cell of ω-Zr were found to be α‖ = +3.5(3)10−6 K−6 and α⊥ = +7.9(4)10−6 K−1. A combined analysis of the pressure dependence and the previously determined temperature dependence of the electric field gradients supports the assumption of two different bonding types at the A and B sites.
