Oscillations of the Electric-Dipole Echo in Glasses in a Magnetic Field
Using a simple diagram technique we derive the electric-dipole echo amplitude from two-level systems with a quadrupole nuclear moment in glasses in an external magnetic field. We show, that due to the quadrupole moment interaction of a tunneling particle with a gradient of an internal electric field, the echo amplitude experiences oscillations in rather weak magnetic fields. With an increase of the magnetic field, when the Zeeman energy becomes larger than the quadrupole energy splitting, the average echo amplitude increases and saturates (for high magnetic fields) at some level which is above the average level of echo oscillations for small magnetic fields.
