Mössbauer spectroscopy is used to monitor the quadrupole interaction for the superconductor as a function of temperature. Qualitative comparison with other results supports earlier claims that the rank-2 crystal-field contribution lies between that for and that for . However, there is quantitative disagreement with crystal-field parameters determined elsewhere for .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
