Quadrupole moment and quadrupole relaxation of spin of muonium and mesoatoms

It is shown that muonium in the ground state has a quadrupole moment. Existence of the quadrupole moment of muonium leads to essential influence of crystal electric fields on the precession and relaxation of its spin in a medium.     

The quadrupole moment of the neutron-halo nucleus11Li

The quadrupole moment ratio of⁹Li and¹¹Li was measured by a combination of in-beam laser induced nuclear polarization and Β-NMR in LiNbO₃. The result ¦Q(¹¹Li)/Q(⁹Li)¦=1.14(16) is consistent with cluster models describing¹¹Li as composed of a⁹Li core and a far extended halo of two loosely bound neutrons.     

Multiple quantum NMR transitions of8Li (T 1/2=0.84 s) in single crystals and powders of LiTaO3, and the quadrupole moment of8Li

Multiple quantum nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) transitions were observed on polarized⁸Li nuclei, which were produced by capture of polarized neutrons in a single crystal of LiTaO₃. The asymmetric⁸Liβ-radiation distribution was used for the detection of NMR. A quadrupole moment ratio ¦Q(⁸Li)/Q(⁷Li)¦=0.78(1) was determined. Saturation of multiple quantum transitions in nuclear radiation detected NMR may lead to a reduction in measuring time of up to two orders of magnitude, as compared to single quantum detection methods. The measured spectra agree well with an exact lineshape calculation. The same measurements were also performed on a LiTaO₃ powder sample. This was done to test a method to obtain quadrupole coupling constants from high field NMR multiple quantum powder patterns, which are easily detectable, also for higher nuclear spins. This latter method may be applicable also to conventional NMR detection techniques.     

Quadrupole moment of41Sc by use of new nuclear quadrupole resonance detection

Quadrupole effects in -NMR spectra of⁴¹Sc(I =7/2^–,T _1/2=0.596 s) implanted in a TiO₂ single crystal were detected by use of a modified -NMR technique. Using the field gradient in the crystal determined by the pulsed-Fourier-transformed NMR of⁴⁵Sc in TiO₂, the quadrupole moment of⁴¹Sc has been determined as |Q(⁴¹Sc; 7/2^–)|=166±8 mb.     

Hyperfine interaction of 25Al in α-Al2O3 and its quadrupole moment

A brief review is presented of recent work with the Precision Penning Trap Mass Spectrometer, formerly at MIT, now at Florida State University. This includes atomic mass comparisons using single trapped ions; mass comparisons using two simultaneously trapped ions alternated between large and small cyclotron radii; and measurement of the dipole moment of a molecular ion using the polarizability-induced shift in cyclotron frequency.     

Giant quadrupole moment andproton halo discovered in8B

The nuclear quadrupole moment of⁸B(I =2⁺,T _1/2=769 ms) has been determined by use of a modified -NMR detection as |Q(⁸B)|=68.3±2.1 mb, which is twice the prediction of the Cohen-Kurath shell model calculation. The anomalous quadrupole moment which is carried mainly by the protons in the nucleus, has been accounted for by the proton halo effect.     

Sign of the quadrupole moment of proton drip-line nucleus 8B

The sign of the quadrupole coupling constant eqQ of ⁸B in ZrB₂ is determined to be positive through the β-delayed α-ray anisotropy measurement combined with the spin manipulation technique by use of the β-NMR. According to the theoretical calculation of the electric field gradient in ZrB₂, the sign of the quadrupole moment of ⁸B is deduced to be positive. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

NMR study of 6Li in LiNbO3

An experimental NMR study of the ⁶Li isotope in single crystals of lithium niobate has been performed, along with a computer simulation of ⁶Li NMR spectra for a crystal of congruent composition, containing defects in the cation sublattice. It is found that the mean value of the principal component of the electric field gradient tensor at the ⁶Li nuclei is 1.48 times larger than at the ⁷Li nuclei. It is surmised that there is a substantial difference in the character of the mobility of the ⁶Li and ⁷Li nuclei in the LiO₆ octahedra at room temperature. Fiz. Tverd.

Hartree-Fock cluster investigations of electronic structure and nuclear quadrupole interaction in the superionic conductor Li3N

The nuclear quadrupole interactions for⁷Li and¹⁴N nuclei are studied for lithium nitride crystal using the Hartree-Fock cluster procedure to obtain the electronic structure. The influence of the Madelung potential due to the ions outside the cluster was incorporated in a first-principle manner. Our results for the quadrupole coupling constants will be compared with experimental data and the results of a recent band calculation.     

Anisotropy of electrooptical interaction in LiNbO3 crystals

Results of studying the conditions for optimum electrooptical (EO) interaction in lithium niobate crystals are presented. Analytical formulas are obtained for calculating refractive indices of natural waves and their polarizations for basis X-, Y-, and Z-cuts of crystals for arbitrary orientations of the wave vector of an optical wave. Conditions are found for the appearance of intermode EO interaction causing the orientation of polarization plane of natural waves to become a function of the external electric field.     

Quadrupole interaction at181Ta in BaHfO3

BaHfO₃ is prepared by sintering a mixture of BaCO₃ and HfO₂ giving the same heat treatments as for YBa₂Cu₃O_7– (YBCO). X-ray diffraction analysis confirms the formation of cubic BaHfO₃ along with some unreacted HfO₂. A¹⁸¹Ta TDPAC study of the sample, prepared using neutron-irradiated HfO₂ and BaCO₃, shows a relaxation process to be present in the sample. The value of the relaxation constant0.26 ns is unusually large and temperature independent.     

Microwave spectrum,quadrupole hyperfine interaction,and electric dipole moment of the BrF molecule

The measurements of the microwave spectrum of BrF were carried out on the hyperfine components of J = 1 ← 0 and J = 2 ← 1 rotational transitions of ⁷⁹BrF and ⁸¹BrF. A direct diagonalization procedure of the energy matrix of the total Hamiltonian including Stark effect has been used. The following constants were derived:

The deduced properties of the lowest three states are compared to the predictions of a number of calculations for the structure of 9Li. The results of ab initio quantum Monte Carlo calculations are in good agreement with the observed properties.

H. Orth  H. Ackermann  E. W. Otten 《Zeitschrift für Physik A Hadrons and Nuclei》1975,273(3):221-232

Microwave transitions between the Zeeman split doublet states 2² P _1/2 and 2² P _3/2 of⁷Li have been measured using the optical double resonance method. The fine structure separation was determined to bev _fs=10.053.184(58) MHz. The hyperfine structure was well resolved and led to considerably improved precision of the diagonal coupling constantsa _1/2=45.914(25) MHz,a _3/2=?3.055(14) MHz,b=?0.221(29) MHz. Furthermore, the contact, spin dipolar and orbital magnetic hyperfine constants are evaluated using additional results from level crossing experiments, which are more sensitive on the non-diagonal magnetic hyperfine constanta _3/2,1/2. The results are in good agreement with recent theoretical calculations. The nuclear quadrupole moment is derived fromb to beQ(⁷Li)=?41(6) mbarn.
