Orientation of electric field gradient and chemical shift tensors in BiVO4 at room temperature by51V NMR

Static and magic angle spinning 51V NMR spectra of BiVO4 were recorded at three different field strengths (2.3, 9.4 and 14.1 T) and give evidence of the relative effects of the quadrupolar interaction and electronic shielding at the nucleus. The experimental powder spectra were fitted to ascertain both the magnitude and orientation of chemical shift anisotropy and electric field gradient tensors.
