Description
A shift of the 67Zn Moessbauer resonance line was observed when a ZnO single crystalline absorber was rotated with respect to the direction of the gamma-quanta. The experimental results could be explained by assuming the existence of an electric dipole moment of the photon. Two other alternative explanations are considered: the difference of the quadrupole splitting between the source and the absorber and the ''interference effect''. (orig.)
