Abstract
The perturbed angular correlation method (PAC) was applied to investigate the lattice location of implanted 111In probe ions in Hf2Ni and Zr2Ni intermetallic compounds. It is concluded that the 111In/111Cd probe nuclei experiencing the highly asymmetric electric field gradient (EFG) occupy the unique hafnium or zirconium 8(h) sites in the investigated phases. Above room temperature, the EFGs decrease linearly with temperature. The results are compared with that of previous PAC measurements with 181Ta probes.
