Title: Hyperfine interactions of trans-lead elements studied by nuclear radiations

Journal Article · · Phys. Status Solidi (a), v. 19, no. 1, pp. 11-51

The applications of nuclear radiation methods to the study of hyperfine interactions (hfi) for elements beyond Pb in the periodic table are reviewed. A general discussion of hfi is presented along with a review of specific methods. The techniques are illustrated whenever possible by their application to the actinides, with emphasis on the unsolved aspects of the results. A special method of sample preparation is ion implantation, in which stable or radioactive ions of practically any element are shot into the host, either by means of isotope separators or the recoil energy of nuclear reactions or radioactive decays. The location of the implanted (recoiled) atom in the lattice has to be assessed for a reliable determination of the hfi. Therefore, a chapter on the channeling technique is also included. (JRD)
