| PAC Studies of Ag-Hf Intermetallic Compounds  | | | Abstract
| The hyperfine quadrupole interaction of 181 Ta and 111 Cd probes in HfAg and HfiAg com-pounds was studied at 24 to 1100 K with the time -differential perturbed angular correlation (TDPAC) technique. The EFGs measured in HfAg on 181 Ta and m Cd are 1.388(5)x 10 18 VcnT 2 and 0.340(5)x 10 lx Vcm -2 , respectively. For both probe atoms a linear decrease of the EFG with temperature was observed with slopes 1.1 l(2)x 10 -4 KT 1 and 1.73(5)x 10~ 4 KT 1 for 181 Ta and "'Cd, respectively. In Hf 2 Ag, 0.469(2)x 10 18 VcnT 2 was determined on 181 Ta nuclei and 0.428(5)x 10 18 Vcm -2 on '"Cd. Also a linear EFG temperature dependence with the large slope of 2.39(6)x 10 -4 K" 1 was observed for "'Cd probes in Hf 2 Ag, while the EFG measured on l8l Ta nuclei in this compound exhibits a very weak temperature variation which can be fitted neither with a linear T nor a T ?/2 dependence. In all cases the electronic contributions to the EFG are very small indicating that these transition element systems do not obey the universal correlation between the electronic and the ionic EFG observed in numerous other systems not belonging to the transition metal series. | | |

| 0 Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling in Molecular and Lattice Systems by ab initio Calculation of Electric Field Gradients  | | | Abstract
| We present ab initio Hartree-Fock calculations of electric field gradients, which are related to experimental determinations of nuclear quadrupole coupling constants. The nucleus of special interest is 17 0 but other nuclei in the molecules, especially N, 2 H and 33 S are included. The calculations were performed (a) as single molecules either at the SCF and MP2 correlated levels, (b) as clusters of molecules about a test site, or (c) as lattice calculations computed in the unit cell environment. The basis sets are triple zeta valence plus polarisation in (a). Because of limitations in exponent range in (c), the bases in both (b) and (c), where comparison was sought, are DZ at the SCF level. | | |

| The Charge Distribution in Amides and Thioamides by Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling, Dipole Moments and Electronic Structure Calculations  | | | Abstract
| The nuclear quadrupole coupling constants from microwave spectroscopy (MW) and quadrupole resonance (NQR) for amides and thioamides are discussed in relation to Hartree-Fock calculations with and without Moller-Plesset correlation effects. The view that the larger dipole moments from thioamides than the corresponding amides is a function of enhanced resonance in the former is discussed and (in effect) confirmed by the present procedures. The principal mechamism seems to be the push/pull K/C effects of the N atom with respect to the CO and CS groups, with S being a better o-donor than O; however, the effect is still present with formamidine where no electronegativity effects are important, so the overall effect is the 2,1,17t-electron contribution to the allylic system from N, C, O(S). The use of localised MO's and NO's is described, and the centroid positions are discussed in relation to the polarity of the bonds. The LMO's largely truncate the contributions to each NQCC to the three attached bonds (or 2 bonds + a lone pair orbital at O or S), as is used in the Townes-Dailey procedures. More distant LMO's generally contribute < 0.05 a. u. to the EFG, simplifying the analysis. The effects of 0(or S)-protonation of urea and thiourea is discussed. | | |

| Quadrupole Coupling in Purines and Pyrimidines by Hartree-Fock Lattice Calculations of Electric Field Gradients  | | | Abstract
| We present ab initio Hartree-Fock lattice calculations on adenine, guanine and hypoxanthine, and some pyrimidines, including cytosine and uracil derivatives. The electric field gradients at the nitrogen centres are related to NQR experimental determinations of nuclear quadrupole coupling constants. The calculations were performed as lattice calculations in the unit cell environment, with 6-31G or double zeta basis sets at the SCF level. The present analysis strongly suggests that at N 3 in cytosine, N 3 in guanine are both positive, and approximately tangential to the ring at that centre. In contrast, N 7 in guanine is like most other azine-type N centres, with a largely radial direction for The 3-protonated cytosine ring has x-as the local 7r-direction. | | |

| Electric Field Gradients Around Point Defects in Metals  | | | Abstract
| The splittings of nuclear energy levels caused by the electric field gradients acting on the quadru-pole moments of nuclei in the neighbourhood of atomic defects in cubic metals may serve as "fingerprints" providing us with a unique characterization of these defects. In favourable cases the NQDOR technique (nuclear quadrupole double resonance) permits sensitive measurements of these splittings with good resolution. The present paper outlines the status of the ab-initio calculation of electric field gradients with emphasis on the theoretical basis (density functional theory with local density approximation) and on the techniques required for handling the specific problems associated with defects. Recent work by the supercell approach on atomic defects in Al and Cu, making use either of the full-potential linearized augmented-plane-wave method or of the ab-initio pseudopo-tential method, are reported and compared with experiments. The excellent agreement between experiment and theory for the field gradients acting on the nearest-neighbour nuclei of monovacan-cies in Al demonstrates the reliability and the potential of the theory.

| Solid Effect Between Quadrupolar Transitions in Dilute Cu-Pd Alloys  | | | Abstract
| The paper investigates the Dynamic Solid Effect (DSE) in Nuclear Quadrupole Double Reso-nance (NQDOR) on a system (dilute alloys of CuPd with 8, 42, 210, or 1000 at.ppm Pd) chosen for its simplicity and the possibility to test the theoretical concepts on which the experimental tech-niques (in particular the so-called Berthier-Minier technique for exhibiting the DSE) are based. NQDOR allows to observe the transitions between the Cu nuclear energy levels split by the quadrupolar interaction with the electric field gradients generated by nearby Pd atoms even in dilute alloys, in which the fraction of Cu nuclei experiencing a given field gradient is very small. The DSE permits transitions at frequencies corresponding to the sums or differences of quadrupolar level splittings at neighbouring nuclei and thus gives access to information on the spatial correlation of nuclei accessible to NQDOR studies. The DSE information is shown to be in full accord with the conclusions drawn earlier, on the basis of line-intensity arguments, on the assignment of quadrupo-lar transitions to the first four shells of Cu nuclei surrounding isolated Pd atoms but, in addition, allows to identify the low-frequency NQDOR lines associated with Cu nuclei in the fifth and sixth shells. | | |

| Ab-initio Band Structure Calculations and 61 Ni-Mössbauer Studies of BaNi0 2 , BaNi0 3 and CaNiN  | | | Abstract
| The electron density distribution of the nickel compounds BaNi0 2 , BaNi0 3 and CaNiN has been investigated experimentally by 61 Ni Mössbauer spectroscopy and theoretically by band structure calculations using the FP-LMTO (Full Potential Linear Afuffin-71n Orbital) method. For all compounds good agreement is found between the experimental and theoretical values of the electric field gradient <f xp and q lheoT at the nickel site. BaNi0 2 contains nickel in a square-planar coordination forming puckered chains of edge-sharing Ni0 4 squares. \q\ at nickel is large: q exp = -15.7(1.5) • 10 fl Vm" 2 and q thcot -= -15.59 • 10 21 Vm" 2 . The principal axis z is perpendicular to the Ni0 4 squares. The crystal structure of BaNiO a contains face-sharing chains of NiO. octahedra. In BaNi0 3 g(Ni) is small: q" p • = ±3.6(2.0) • 10 21 Vm~ 2 and q theor = — 1.86 • 10 2 Vm -2 . Because of the small broadening of the Mössbauer resonance line the sign of q could not be determined experimentally. The nitridoniccolate CaNiN contains infinite linear chains oo [NiN 2/2 ] which run perpendicular to the c axis. Unexpectedly, |<?(Ni)| in CaNiN is small: q exp = 0.0 (2.0) • 10 Jl Vm -2 and qtheor. _ _ 3 05 . |Q2i Vm~ 2 . Again the sign of q(Ni) could not be determined experimentally. It is found theoretically that the small value of ^r (Ni) is caused by severe cancellation between a and n contributions. | | |

| Electric Field Gradient Calculations of Various Borides  | | | Abstract
| A first-principles method for the computation of electric field gradients (EFG) is illustrated for various borides. It is based on energy band calculations using the full-potential linearized aug-mented plane wave (LAPW) method within density functional theory. From the self-consistent charge density distribution the EFG is obtained without further approximations by numerically solving Poisson's equation. The dependence of the EFG on structure, chemical composition or substitution is demonstrated for the diborides MB 2 (with M = Ti, V, Cr, Zr, Nb, Mo, and Ta), the hexaborides (CaB 6 , SrB 6 and BaB 6) and boron carbide which is closely related to a-boron. | | |

| Study of the EFG Trends in Zr 2 T (T = Fe, Co, Ni) Intermetallic Compounds  | | | Abstract
| We use the linear muffin-tin orbital formalism, in the atomic sphere approximation, to investigate the trends of the electric field gradient (EFG) at the nucleus for the non-equivalent sites in Zr 2 T (T = Fe, Co and Ni) intermetallic compounds. As all those compounds crystallize in the same C16 crystallographic structure, they offer a rare opportunity to investigate electronic structure effects coming from transition metals on the EFG at Zr site. Those results are compared with EFG values obtained from quadrupole coupling constant measurements performed with the time differential perturbed angular correlation (TDPAC) technique, using the 181 Ta probe. | | |

| Ab initio and MNDO Calculations of the 35 C1 NQR Parameters of Some Organic and Inorganic Molecules  | | | Abstract
| The results of ab initio and MNDO calculations of the Cl 2 C = CHOCH 3 , XCOC1 (X = CH 3 , OCH 3 and COC1), 4-ClC 6 H 4 CH 2 Cl, (CNC1) 3 and PC1 5 with total optimization of their geometry are presented. The ab initio calculations were executed using Hartree-Fock theory and the split valence basis set 6-31G* (RHF/6-31 G*//RHF/6-31G*). Using the calculated p-orbital populations of the CI atoms in these molecules the 35 C1 NQR frequencies and asymmetry parameters of the EFG at the 35 C1 nuclei have been determined. When the populations of the less diffuse components of orbitals in the split valence basis set are used the calculated and experimenal v and rj values are in good agreement. Linear correlations between these calculated and corresponding experimental v and rj values are obtained. The causes of the nonconformity of the earlier calculated v and t] values and their experimental ones are analysed. Key words: Ab initio calculations, p-orbital populations, 35 C1 NQR frequency, asymmetry parameter. | | |

| Study of the Location of Implanted Fluorine Atoms in Silicon and Germanium through Their Nuclear Quadrupole Interactions  | | | Abstract
| Time Differential Perturbed Angular Distribution (TDPAD) measurements of the nuclear quadrupole hyperfine parameters for 19 F* implanted into amorphous, polycrystalline and crys-talline silicon and germanium are reported and reviewed. Two signals are observed in the crystalline materials (« 35 and 23 MHz in silicon, % 33 and 27 MHz in germanium) while only one is detected in the amorphous and polycrystalline samples (ä22 MHz in silicon, «27 in germanium). Impurity sites in these materials were modeled using a Hartree-Fock cluster procedure. The Intrabond, Antibond, and Substitutional sites in the bulk were studied in both silicon and germanium. The ATOP and Intrabond Surface sites were also studied in silicon and the results extended to germa-nium. Lattice relaxation effects were incorporated by employing a geometry optimization method to obtain minimum energy configurations for the clusters modelling each site. The electronic wave functions were obtained for each optimized cluster by applying Unresctricted Hartree-Fock theory, and these wave functions were used to calculate the nuclear quadrupole hyperfine parameters at the site of the fluorine nucleus. Comparison of the theoretical hyperfine parameters to the experimental values indicates that 19 F* located in the Intrabond and Intrabond surface sites could readily explain the higher frequency signal that has been observed. 19 F* in the Antibond and the surface ATOP sites yield hyperfine parameters consistent with the low frequency signal observed in the crystalline materials and the single signal observed in the amorphous (or polycrystalline) materials. Examina-tion of these two sites, in view of other available experimental evidence including the temperature dependence of the TDPAD signals, leads to the conclusion that the lower frequency signal is due to 19 F* implants which have come to rest at the site of dangling bonds in the bulk. These dangling bonds are created as a result of damage generated in the individual collision cascades during the implantation process. | | |

| Theory of Nuclear Quadrupole Interactions in Solid Fluoromethanes with Implanted l9 F* Nuclei. Coupling of HF* and Host Molecule  | | | Abstract
| The Quadrupole Coupling Constant e 2 qQ and Asymmetry Parameter rj of fluorine for fluorine-substitute methane compounds are calculated using the Hartree-Fock Roothaan procedure. Our results are compared with experimental data from measurements by the Time Differential Perturbed Angular Distribution (TDPAD) technique using excited 19 F* (spin 5/2) nuclei. The theoretical e 2 qQ's for the 19 F* nuclei in the fluoromethanes are in good agreement with experimental results. For CH 2 F 2 and CHC1F 2 molecules, where finite rj are expected from symmetry considerations, our results for ri are small, 0.12 and 0.05 respectively, in agreement with experimental observation. Besides the F* coupling constants associated with the C-F bonds in fluoromethanes, additional interesting NQI parameters, close to those in solid hydrogen fluoride, are observed in the TDPAD measurements. It is demonstrated through investigations of the total energies and electric field gradients that these additional NQI parameters for the fluoromethanes can be explained by a HF* molecule hydrogen-bonded through the hydrogen to a fluorine atom in the host molecular systems. This complexing of an ionic molecule to the host molecules in organic solids containing strongly electronegative atoms is expected to be a general feature in both implantation and conventional techniques. | | |

The nuclear quadrupole parameters and principal axes of the two host nuclei, 51 V and 209 Bi, and the second-or-der zero field splitting tensor of the isoelectronic 3d 5 ions, Mn 2 + and Fe 3 + , in Bi V0 4 are determined for the first time. Temperature dependence studies on 51 V NMR and Mn 2+ EPR confirmed that this crystal undergoes a second order phase transition. The substitutional sites of Mn 2+ and Fe 3 + in BiV0 4 are Bi 3 and V 5 + , respectively. | | |
