Thank you Dr. Cottenier for the reply. i request you to further enlighten
my understanding.
I work in TDPAC Spectroscopy which gives HFI parameter from where EFG can
be obtained. Now this EFG is given as : (4I*(2I-1)h-bar)*Wq/(eQ) =Vzz.
Should i look for the EFG from ":EFG " label or from ":Vzz" label to
compliment the EFG value obtained from TDPAC spectroscopy.

Thanks,
A. Kumar
