The quadrupole interaction of {ital polarized} {sup 92}Mo(8{sup +},{tau}=0.29 {mu}s) and {sup 93}Ru(21/2{sup +},{tau}=3.5 {mu}s) isomers in a single crystal of Zr has been measured. The experiment utilizes the nuclear polarization induced by the tilted-multifoil interaction with separated isomer beams from a mass spectrometer. The magnitudes and signs of the quadrupole moments were deduced to be {minus}0.33 and +0.04 b for {sup 92}Mo(8{sup +}) and {sup 93}Ru (21/2{sup +}), respectively. Together with previous work on the {sup 88,90}Zr(8{sup +}) isomers, this experiment sheds light on the particle-hole shell-model structure in the {ital A}=90 region. It also serves as a calibration of a recent experiment on parity mixing in the 17/2{sup {minus}}-17/2{sup +} doublet in {sup 93}Tc. The induced nuclear polarization under the conditions of a separated reaction-product beam is found to be substantially higher than in previous in-beam experiments.
