Popis: Nuclear-acoustic-resonance studies have been made of single-crystal 99.99% pure tantalum metal from which all hydrogen has been removed (hydrogen concentration much less than 7 at. ppm or 0.04 wt ppm). The shapes and widths of the $^{181}\mathrm{Ta}$ $\ensuremath{\Delta}m=\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1 \mathrm{and} \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}2$ absorption lines can be explained as due to quadrupole broadening caused by a random distribution of charged impurities. Unlike hydrogenated Ta, the $\ensuremath{\Delta}m=\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}2$ line shape and linewidth for the hydrogen-free specimen are independent of magnet angle and temperature between 78 and 300 K. The measured $^{181}\mathrm{Ta}$ Knight shift is (1.14 \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{} 0.02)% relative to $^{181}\mathrm{Ta}$ in KTa${\mathrm{O}}_{3}$. The magnitudes and relative signs of the components of the tensor relating electric field gradient to elastic strain are ${S}_{11}=\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}26\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{15}$ statcoulomb ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$ and ${S}_{44}=\ensuremath{\mp}29\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{15}$ statcoulomb ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$.
