Abstract

Nuclear orientation of

{Tb}^{160}

in a single crystal of neodymium ethylsulphate has been observed by the anisotropic intensity distribution of the

γ

rays. The alignment arises from the coupling of the nuclear-magnetic and quadrupole moments with the crystal field. The spin of

{Tb}^{160}

is shown to be 3, and the spin of the 1360-kev level in

{Dy}^{160}

is 2. The nuclear moments of

{Tb}^{160}

are

| μ | = 1.60 \pm 0.25

nm and

Q = + 1.9 \pm 0.5

barns.
