Several divergent results for the hypefine interaction of dilute Sc in G d have recently been reported. We have repeated and extended earlier low-temperature nuclear orientation experiments and reanalysed the data, obtaining a hyperfine field of -4.35 i 0.64T at the Sc nucleus, somewhat smaller but of the same order as the previous nuclear orientation value. Our data are not consistent with a recently reported large electric quadrupole interaction and small hyperfine field.
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.
