> 1) Nuclear quadrupole interaction (e2qQ)
As you say, this is an *interaction*: it depends on properties of a
specific nucleus (the quadrupole moment Q) and properties of an electron
system -- the solid (electric field gradient eq or Vzz). The electric
field gradient is calculated by wien2k (:EFGxxx), but the interaction of
course not.
> 2) Hyperfine-coupling constant (Ahf)
Similar as above: this is an interaction property which involves the
nuclear magnetic moment (nuclear property) and the hyperfine field
(electron system property).
> 3) Hyperfine magnetic field (Hhf)
The Fermi contact part is by default in the :HFFxxx label. For the
orbital and spin-dipolar part (if needed), you need to include
spin-orbit coupling and run lapwdm afterwards (see UG).

As you say, this parameter takes into account phonon properties.
Therefore, it is not accessible by a ground state code as wien2k were no
phonons are present.
