Electronic shielding of the crystalline field in thulium ethyl sulfate

Abstract

The method of recoilless nuclear resonance absorption of gamma radiation was employed in investigating the temperature dependence of the nuclear quadrupole interaction in the 8.4-keV level of Tm169 in thulium ethyl sulfate, Tm(C2H5SO4)3•9H2O. The experiment reveals a strong influence of electronic shielding resulting from the polarization induced in the closed electron shells by the crystalline electric field.
