Abstract

Nuclear magnetic resonance measurements were carried out on neutron activated ⁸Li(T _{1 2} = 0.84 s) nuclei in a single crystal of LiNbO₃. The quadrupolar splitted NMR spectrum, detected via the ⁸Li β radiation, could be resolved. The quadrupole coupling constant was determined to |e²qQ/h| = 43 ± 3 kHz at room temperature. Comparison with the coupling constant of ⁷Li in LiNbO₃ leads to the value of the quadrupole moment |Q(⁸Li)| = 32 ± 6 mb.
