The perturbed angular correlation technique was applied to study the lattice location of the 111 In/ 111 Cd and 181 Hf/ 181 Ta probe atoms in hafnium and zirconium aluminides. Compounds of different stoichiometries and crystallographic structures were the subject of investigation. According to the expectation, in all investigated compounds 181 Hf/ 181 Ta probes occupy the Hf(Zr) crystallographic sites. The 111 In/ 111 Cd probes are placed at the sites of all constituent metals Y aluminum, hafnium and zirconium, depending on the crystallographic structure of compound, concentration of the constituent metals and temperature of the sample.
