Abstract
Using the phonon model of Nishiyama and Riegel for the electric field gradient we have investigated the possibility of an isotopic mass effect. We will show that there is an isotopic mass effect nearT=0 K. In this temperature region the electric field gradient depends on the probe atom mass only.
