The use of adiabatic demagnetization to measure the electric field gradient in cadmium

  • 1. Los Alamos Scientific Lab., N.Mex. (USA)

Description

A high capacity adiabatic demagnetization refrigerator consisting of a pressed cylinder of gold and cerous magnesium nitrate, Ce2Mg3(NO3)12.24H2O (CMN) has been used to cool a single crystal of cadmium containing radioactive 115Cdsup(m) to 4.6mK. The low temperature anisotropy of the γ-radiation from the ground state of 115Cdsup(m) (Isup(π)=11/2-, tsub(1/2)=43 d) allowed determination of the sign and magnitude of the electric field gradient (EFG) in cadmium metal.
