The authors have studied the temperature dependence of two of the four magnetic-field perturbed NQR lines in indium. Their results indicate that the sign of the internal electric field gradient (EFG) is positive, in accord with the recent heat capacity measurements of the ISSP group and one recent theoretical prediction. They also discuss the implications of the sign of the EFG on the use of indium as an absolute thermometer below 1 mK.
