Abstract
Combining e- -gamma perturbed angular correlations, internal-channelin g and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry/channeling experiments pe rformed on the same sample, it is shown that Hg and Au ions after the implantation of Hg-197m in beryllium occupy the same substitutional la ttice site. The very high electric field gradients measured are explai ned by HgBe and AuBe pairs formed by the implantation of Hg. Some puzz ling results reported in the literature are discussed and explained us ing this model.
