Abstract

It is demonstrated that the detection of low temperature nuclear orientation by Mössbauer spectroscopy, rather than by the observation of the angular distribution of the emitted radiation, allows to determine nuclear quadrupole interaction strengths generated by randomly oriented defect-induced electric field gradients in cubic lattices. Also the cooling behaviour of radioactive nuclei implanted in semiconductors is studied.
