G. Seewald et al., DEPENDENCE OF THE ELECTRIC-FIELD GRADIENT OF IR IN FE ON THE DIRECTION OF MAGNETIZATION WITH RESPECT TO THE CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC AXES, Physical review letters, 78(9), 1997, pp. 1795-1798
The electric quadrupole interaction of Ir-188 (I-pi = 1(-);T-1/2 = 41.
5 h) in a Fe single crystal was measured for magnetization parallel to
the crystallographic [100], [110], and [111] axes. Contrary to all pr
evious experiments, a strong dependence of the electric field gradient
on the direction of the magnetization with respect to the crystallogr
aphic axes was observed for the first time.
