Abstract
The detection and verification of the existence of nuclear hexadecapole interactions is interesting and important for understanding the structure of the nucleus and its neighboring electric field pattern corresponding to a nuclear position in the lattice of a crystal. The detailed arrangement of apparatus and the method of frequency measurement of an earlier experiment, which have not been reported before, are described. Progress of this research in the past 30 years is reviewed in the light of techniques of measurement. Major problems for further investigations are pointed out. Utilization of the nuclear hexadecapole interaction for detecting deep-lying physical phenomena (static and dynamic) such as various lattice defects, phase changes, and lattice dynamics in crystals is suggested.
