Low temperature nuclear orientation and NMR of oriented nuclei

Recent developments in nuclear orientation (NO) and radiative detection of NMR (NMR/ON) are reviewed. Details of the hyperfine interaction hamiltonian in cubic ferromagnets and the principles of measurement by these techniques of both magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole terms are outlined. In the experimental survey a full account is given of measurements of the electric quadrupole interaction by frequency modulated and fast passage NMR/ON, with briefer coverage of applications of both techniques to implanted systems, of linewidths, concentration dependent line structure, and Knight shifts in NMR/ON and of NO measurements of electric quadrupole interactions in non-cubic non-magnetic metals. The review incorporates a tabulation of NMR/ON measurements to date. (Auth.)
