Temperature dependence of the quadrupole interaction forRh100,Cd111, andTa181in Be

Abstract
The temperature dependence of the electric field gradients at Rh100, Cd111, and Ta181 impurities in Be have been measured by time-differential perturbed-angular-correlation methods. The observed temperature dependences are quite different. The interaction frequencies decrease for Rh100 and Cd111 with rising temperature, but increase for Ta181, which is quite unusual. The probes were produced by ion implantation of the activities Pd100, In111, and Hf181. Channeling experiments showed that Pd implanted into Be occupies substitutional sites. The results are compared with presently discussed models.
