Abstract

The nuclear quadrupole interactions of27Al and67Zn, both at the B-site in the spinel ZnAl2O4 have been studied using the Hartree-Fock cluster procedure including the influence of the ions outside the cluster. The theoretical value -3.85 MHz of e2qQ for27Al is in very good a agreement with the experimental value of 3.68 MHz (sign undetermined). For67Zn at the Al site the theoretical value is -8.26 MHz in reasonable agreement with the experimental value of -11.34 MHz indicating that lattice distortion effects associated with Zn as an impurity at the Al site are relatively small.
