Static quadrupole moments ofAgm106andAgm109and the electric field gradient of Ag in Zn and Cd

Abstract
Low temperature nuclear orientation of Agm106 and Agm110 in Zn and Fe and level mixing resonances on Agm109 have been measured in order to deduce Q and Vzz values. A fourth-order resonance in Agm109Zn has been found with a full width at half maximum of 1.9 × 109 eV, and Vzz(AgCd)Vzz(AgZn)=1.0064(34) was deduced. The electric quadrupole moments found in the literature, reevaluated for Sternheimer correction Q(Agm108)=+1.32(7) b and Q(Agm110)=+1.44(10) b, are used for the calibration of Vzz and yield Q(Agm106)=+1.11(11) b, Q(Agm109)=(+)0.97(11) b, and Vzz(AgZn)=+4.2(5)×1017 V/cm2. Furthermore, μ(Agm106)=(+)3.82(8)μN and several δ(E2M1) mixing ratios in Pd106...
