Abstract
The distribution of gamma-radiation emitted in the decay of Ce141 nuclei alined in neodymium ethylsulfate single crystals has been remeasured for temperatures as low as 0.0162 °K and has been found to be considerably more anisotropic than previously thought. The discrepancy is explained on the basis of preferential scattering of the plane-polarized radiation in the Dewar system. Similar measurements with Ce141 nuclei oriented in a polarized cerium ethylsulfate crystal have been made. The hyperfine constant for Ce141 in the neodymium ethylsulfate lattice is deduced as A =0.0305±0.003 cm−1, and the E2/M1 ratio for the 145-kev gamma ray in Pr141 is +0.068 ±0.008.
