Time reversal non-invariance in nuclei has recently been parametrized in terms of a four point coupling, of undetermined strength, of an isovector photon, a charged pion and the nucleon current. If parity violation is introduced via the weak interaction, this coupling is restricted, by the failure to observe a neutron electric dipole moment, to a size which is an order of magnitude smaller than...

The nuclear quadrupole interaction of the first excited I=1 state of Sc in the anatase and rutile modifications of bulk TiO2 was determined by time-differential perturbed-angular correlation of rays. New LaBr3 Ce scintillators with excellent energy resolution allowed us to separate the 68 and 78 keV lines of the cascade. For anatase, an almost axially symmetric electric field gradient EFG with ...

We discuss nuclear spin comagnetometers based on ultralow-field nuclear magnetic resonance in mixtures of miscible solvents, each rich in a different nuclear spin. In one version thereof, Larmor precession of protons and 19F nuclei in a mixture of thermally polarized pentane and hexafluorobenzene is monitored via a sensitive alkali-vapor magnetometer. We realize transverse relaxation times in e...

The molecular beam electric resonance technique has been used to examine the hyperfine spectrum of CsF to determine the nuclear quadrupole interaction of the cesium nucleus. A total of 95 transitions in vibrational states v5025 and rotational states J5128 have been included in a fit to determine the cesium nuclear quadrupole and spin–rotation interactions, the fluorine spin–rotation interaction...

Relativistic Dirac-Coulomb (DC) Hartree-Fock calculations are employed to obtain the analytic electric field gradient (EFG) on the antimony nucleus in the SbN, SbP, SbF, and SbCl molecules. The electronic correlation contribution to the EFGs is included with the DC-CCSD(T) and DC-CCSD-T approaches, also in the four-component framework, using a finite-difference method. The total EFG results, al...
