A Quantum Statistical Calculation of Nuclear Quadrupole Moment in Metallic Zinc

B C Rai

Abstract: Nuclear Quadrupole Moment (NQM) of zinc nucleus in pure metallic environment is calculated using quantum statistically obtained electric field gradient (EFG) tensor at nuclear site and available nuclear quadrupole coupling coefficients in non-interference of atomic shell approximations. Result does not compare well with previous data, and indicates inclusion of additional shell effect in model based NQM calculations.
