摘要
We have measured the temperature dependence of the beta-NMR resonances of Li-8(+) implanted in the top few thousand Angstrom of a crystal of SrTiO3 in a magnetic field of 3 Tparallel to < 100 >. A well-resolved quadrupolar splitting of the resonance is observed indicating a noncubic Li site with < 1 0 0 > symmetry and a quadrupolar frequency nu(Q)(211 K) = 153.2(4) kHz. The cubic-to-tetragonal phase transition is reflected in the linewidths demonstrating that beta-NMR is a sensitive probe of the structure near a surface. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
