Abstract
The 63,65Cu nuclear quadrupole resonance spectra and spin–lattice relaxation rate (1/T1) have been measured in the semiconductor compound CuAlO2. The value of the nuclei quadrupole interaction constant QCC = 56.24(6) MHz (T = 298 K) has been obtained. The broad maximum has been found in the temperature dependence of 1/T1 in the low-temperature region (below 276 K). This maximum can be associated with the presence of energy levels in the forbidden band. The activation energy has been estimated in CuAlO2 [EA = 45(2) meV], assuming the activation character of the mobility of holes.
