Abstract

Polarized ²⁰F nuclei (T _{1 2} = 11.2 s, I =2) have been produced in a tetragonal MgF₂ single crystal by capture of polarized neutrons. Nuclear magnetic resonance has been observed via the asymmetric β decay in an intermediate magnetic field of 4350 Oe, yielding the quadrupole constant |e² qQ/h | = 5.77 ± 0.02 Mhz and |Q(²⁰F)| = 0.012±0.002 b.
