AbstractThe electric field gradients (EFG) in aluminium due to a monovacancy and the interstitial muon are evaluated. The valence effect EFG qv is calculated using perturbed electron density δn(r)values obtained from density functional theory in an analytic expression which is valid at all distances from the impurity. The size effect EFG qs is evaluated using a new oscillatory form for the near neighbour (nn) displacements. The numerical values of qs are computed using fractional nn displacements available in the literature. For the total EFG good agreement with experiment is obtained without the use of any parameter.

Abstract A first-principles method for the computation of electric field gradients (EFG) is illustrated for various borides. It is based on energy band calculations using the full-potential linearized aug-mented plane wave (LAPW) method within density functional theory. From the self-consistent charge density distribution the EFG is obtained without further approximations by numerically solving Poisson's equation. The dependence of the EFG on structure, chemical composition or substitution is demonstrated for the diborides MB2 (with M = Ti, V, Cr, Zr, Nb, Mo, and Ta), the hexaborides (CaB6, SrB6 and BaB6) and boron carbide which is closely related to α-boron.
