A novel approach to the determination of signs of quadrupole deformations of high-spin isomers is presented. Recoiling /sup 54/Fe(10/sup +/) isomers, populated by the reaction /sup 45/Sc(/sup 12/C, p2n), are polarized by passage through an array of tilted carbon foils and stop in a Cd single crystal. The observation of a quadrupole precession serves to measure both the induced nuclear polarization and the sign of the quadrupole moment. A positive sign of Q (/sup 54/Fe(10/sup +/)) has been deduced.
