Quadrupole interaction in high magnetic field
The first two terms in the Magnus expansion of the quadrupole
interaction are:
the first-order quadrupole interaction
(一階四極矩作用力),
and the second-order quadrupole interaction (二階四極矩作用力),
with
where are the spherical components of the second-rank EFG tensor. In its principal-axis system, the components of this tensor are:
The direct products of the EFG second-rank irreducible
tensors can be expressed as higher rank spherical tensors
W using the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients. Since
and
,
we simply have
where .
The second-order quadrupole interaction becomes:
The eigen values of the fourth-rank EFG tensor W in the spherical tensor representation are:
