Abstract

The evolution of the hyperfine quadrupole interaction in \beta-ZrF4 at Zr sites, is measured between 273 and 740 K via the Perturbed Angular Correlations technique. Two different quadrupole interactions, in a ratio 1:2 of relative fractions, are determined. It is observed that the compound remains stable all over the thermal range. Moisture exposure at room temperature seems not to affect the hyperfine interaction suggesting that \beta-ZrF4 is less sensitive to air water than other varieties of zirconium fluoride.
