Abstract
Several divergent results for the hyperfine interaction of dilute Sc in Gd have recently been reported. Earlier low-temperature nuclear orientation experiments have been extended and repeated and the data reanalysed, obtaining a hyperfine field of -4.35+or-0.64T at the Sc nucleus, somewhat smaller but of the same order as the previous nuclear orientation value. The data are not consistent with a recently reported large electric quadrupole interaction and small hyperfine field.
