Cr$sup 51$ NUCLEAR ORIENTATION IN A CERIUM MAGNESIUM NITRATE CRYSTAL. Technical Report No. 5

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4675511
Cr/sup 51/ nuclei were aligned in Cr/sup 3+/ ions introduced into a slightly cloudy, spherical single crystal of cerium magnesium nitrate and magnetically cooled to temperatures down to 1/325 deg K/sup -1/. Angular distribution and linear polarization data are interpretable on the basis of paramagnetic resonance information, if in addition the presence of intermediate state reorientation is accounted for by coefficients Q/sub k/in the Legendre polynomial expansion of the radiation pattern W ( theta ) = 1 + A/sub 2/P/sub 2/ + A/sub 4/P/sub 4/. It was found that Q/s ub 2/ = 0.40 plus or minus 0.04, Q/ sub 4/=43 plus or minus 12 at 1/T= 325 if delta = plus or minus (E2/M1)/sup 1/2/ = + 0.44 plus or minus 0.05. These results are contrasted with those of an earlier experiment, and compared with a theoretical treatment of reorientation by static, isotropic hfs coupling which yields in the hard-core limit at this temperature Q/sub 2/ = 0.61.
