We have measured the hyperfine interactions in YbVO4 and YbPO4 using Yb-172
perturbed angular correlation spectroscopy for 90 - 1094 keV and 1094 - 79
keV gamma-gamma cascades. The quadrupole interaction frequency varied with
temperature from 0 to 2 GHz. Precise information was obtained from both ca
scades independently even using the cascade with the intermediate state of
the half life as short as 1.6 ns.
