Description

An analytic response theory formulation for the leading-order magnetic field-induced and field-dependent quadrupole splitting in nuclear magnetic resonance spectra is presented and demonstrated with first-principles calculations for 21Ne, 36Ar, and 83Kr in noble gas atoms. The case of molecules was studied for 33S in the sulphur hexafluoride molecule, as well as for 47/49Ti, 91Zr, and 177,179Hf in group(IV) tetrahalides. According to our calculations, the hitherto experimentally unknown field-induced quadrupole splitting in molecules rises to 102 Hz for 177,179Hf nuclei in HfF4 and 101 Hz for 47/49Ti in TiCl4, and is hence of observable magnitude
