Perturbed angular correlation experiments on the rehydration of ZnTiF6

The rehydration process at room temperature, after the dehydration of ZnTiF₆· 6H₂O to ZnTiF₆, was studied by means of the Time Differential Perturbed Angular Correlations technique. The time evolution of the hyperfine parameters related to the hyperfine interaction observed is reported and interpreted in terms of a simple model for the growth of the phases. In the framework of this model, the time evolution of the relative fractions of each interaction is interpreted. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
