Nuclear orientation of198,199Au in Zn and Cd

Low temperature nuclear orientation experiments have been performed with samples prepared by simultaneous implantation of^198,199Au in Zn and Cd single crystals. From the data quadrupole interactions frequencies have been derived as: $$\begin{array}{l} v_Q ({}^{198}Au\underline {Zn} ) = + 162(3)MHz, v_Q ({}^{199}Au\underline {Zn} ) = + 127(2)MHz, \\ v_Q ({}^{198}Au\underline {Cd} ) = + 130(4)MHz and v_Q ({}^{199}Au\underline {Cd} ) = + 107(3)MHz. \\ \end{array}$$ The ratio of the quadrupole moments of¹⁹⁸Au and¹⁹⁹Au is derived asQ ¹⁹⁸/Q ¹⁹⁹=1.26(3).
