ABSTRACTComplex formation at indium and cadmium impurities implanted into samples of 3C-, 4H-and 6H- SiC was investigated by means of Perturbed Angular Correlation (PAC)-Spectroscopy. After annealing at 1600 K up to five different configurations characterized by their specific electric field gradients (EFG(i)) were observed in 6H- SiC, only four complexes in 4H- SiC; in the 3C- modification no complex was observed. All EFG's are axially symmetric and are oriented along the c- axis of the crystal. In a highly nitrogen doped 6H- SiC epi- layer an new EFG was observed. It is tentatively assigned to a close indium- nitrogen pair.

ABSTRACTPerturbed Angular Correlation spectroscopy of 181Ta nuclei occupying cation sites has been used to investigate microscopic structural properties of several pure and stabilized zirconia materials. The PAC spectra are used to derive the electric field gradients at the tracer nucleus. Thse are compared with calculations based on a simple point-ion model. Agreement between experiment and theory is good for stabilized material and qualitatively reasonable for pure zirconia.

The radioactive isotope 111mCd was implanted into BaTiO3 in order to measure electric field gradients (EFGs) with Perturbed Angular Correlation spectroscopy (PAC). It is possible to anneal the implantation induced lattice damage to a certain extent. Then, 111mCd probes are positioned at two sites with distinct axially symmetric EFGs characterized by the quadrupole coupling constants of 33.9(9) and 69.8(9) MHz. These EFGs can be assigned to 111mCd at the Ti- and the Ba-sites

The quadrupole hyperfine interactions of 111Cd/111 In probe nuclei in single-crystalline SrTiO3 perovskite samples were investigated using Perturbed Angular Correlation spectroscopy. Three electric field gradients were detected and their fractions and hyperfine parameters were measured in the temperature range from 26 to 700 K. The fraction f0 having a vanishing quadrupole frequency, as expected for 111Cd on substitutional sites in a cubic lattice, starts to develop around 300 K and reaches 100% at 700 K. Two well-defined EFG's having closely lying quadrupole frequencies and asymmetry parameters of ωQi = 49.1(3) Mrad/s, 77, η0= 0.10(2) and ωQ2 = 51.8(3) Mrad/s, η2 = 0.12(2), at room temperature, were identified in the temperature range from 250 to 530 K, and their (100) orientation in the lattice was determined. They are associated with electronic defects at the probe atoms.

The present review describes the methodology of perturbed angular correlation of gamma rays (PAC) applied to biological problems. A large part of the present review focuses on the application of PAC spectroscopy to the study of coordination geometry for the metal site in zinc enzymes. Applications to conformation and dynamics of biomolecules and the use of the method to identify the intracellular sites of either metals or labelled proteins are also discussed.
