Abstract

In the layered compound LiC6 polarized B-active 8 Li probe nuclei were produced by capture of polarized thermal neutrons. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of 8Li were recorded via the B-radiation asymmetry. The 8 Li quadrupole coupling constant e2qQ/h, measured in the temperature range T= 5.500 K, decreases with increasing T from 45.2(8) to 22.8(4) kHz. Anomalies in the overall temperature dependence are discussed in terms of phase transitions proposed for LiC6.
