Popis: The time differential perturbed angular correlation (TDPAC) technique has been used to study the nuclear quadrupole interactions of the first excited state of ground state rotational band (2+, 80 keV, T1/2 = 1.88 ns) and the band head of the = 41 - band (41 -,1094 keV, T1/2 = 120 ns) in the 168Er nucleus of a polycrystalline Er host. At room temperature we obtained the electric quadrupole interaction frequencies ω0(K= 0) = 457(15) Mrad/s and ω0(K= 4) = 69(2) Mrad/s, respectively, for the 2+ and 4- isomeric states of 168Er. The ratio of the spectroscopic quadrupole moments, i. e. Qs (K= 4)/Qs (K= 0) = 0.69(3), is independent of any model approximation and the electric field gradient at 168Er in the host metal
