ß-NMR Study of the Electric Field Gradient in the Metallic Intercalation Compound LiC6

Abstract
In the layered compound LiC: 6 polarized β-active 8Li probe nuclei were produced by capture of polarized thermal neutrons. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of 8Li were recorded via the β-radiation asymmetry. The 8Li quadrupole coupling constant e2qQ/h , measured in the temperature range T = 5 . .. 500 K decreases with increasing 7 from 45.2(8) to 22.8(4) kHz. Anomalies in the overall temperature dependence are discussed in terms of phase transitions proposed for LiC6.
