Abstract
Nuclei which have a spin number, I, greater than 1/2 usually have an electric quadruple moment as well as a magnetic moment. The electric quadrupole moment describes the deviation from spherical symmetry of the positive charge over the nucleus. Interaction of this electric quadruple moment of the nucleus with an inhomogeneous (axially symmetric) electric field existing in molecules and crystals due to the surrounding charge cloud causes radio frequency resonances to exist. The resonant frequency is dependent on the nuclear quadruple moment as well as the shape and magnitude of the electric field existing at the nucleus due to the surrounding charges. It may range from as low as few kilocycles per second to as high as several hundred megacycles per second.
