The electric field gradient (EFG) at the nuclei of the 5 sp impurities In, Sn, Sb, I and Xe in Cd metal is investigated on the basis of supercell band structure calculations of Cd15M(M = In , . . . , Xe). The theoretical results show the same trend as the experimental findings. The differences in the EFG for different impurities are related to the charge distribution and partial densities of states.

The electric field gradient (efg) at the Nb site in the intermetallic compounds Nb3X (X = Al, In, Si, Ge, Sn) was measured by the Perturbed Angular Correlation (PAC) method using the well-known gamma-gamma cascade of 133 -482 keV in 181Ta from the β- decay of 181Hf, substituting approximately 0.1 atom percent of Nb. The PAC results show that Vzz drops by nearly 40% when X changes from Al to In, and by about 25% when X changes from Si to Ge and Sn. This behavior is most probably related to the change in the degree of sp hybridization in these compounds. The Vzz values of the studied compounds do not follow the well known universal correlation for the efg's in non-cubic metals but the observed trend is well reproduced by results of ab-initio electronic structure calculations. In the case of Nb3 Al a linear temperature dependence of the quadrupole frequencies was observed in the temperature range of 6.5 to 1210 K.

AbstractThe electric field gradient (EFG) in hexagonal Agl at the iodine site is studied theoretically by three different procedures, namely the point charge model, the Hartree-Fock cluster approach, and the augmented plane wave band structure procedure. A comparison is made for the electronic charge distribution and the sizes of the various contributions to the EFG obtained by the different procedures. From the point charge model and the Hartree-Fock cluster approach one gets almost the same result for the EFG, q = +0.743 • 1021 V/m2 and +0.816 • 1021 V/m2 respectively. Only a rather preliminary result of q = +0.393 • 1021 V/m2 is found by the band structure calculation to be compared with the experimental value of qexp= ±0.415 • 1021 V/m2 . The confidence limits of the theoretical results are discussed, including possible ways to bridge the gap between the theoretical results by different methods and experiment. Both the cluster and the band structure calculations are shown to support an ionic model for hexagonal Agl with some overlap between the charge distributions on neighboring ions.
