What Does EFG Stand For?
EFG stands for Electric Field Gradient
Electric Field Gradient (EFG) refers to a measure of the spatial variation of the electric field in a given region. It quantifies the changes in the electric potential experienced by a charge in the vicinity of a charged particle or distribution of charges. EFG is a critical parameter in various fields, including physics, chemistry, and materials science, as it influences the behavior of ions, the stability of molecular structures, and the dynamics of charged particles in electric fields. Additionally, EFG plays a significant role in techniques such as NMR spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance, aiding in the characterization of materials and the exploration of their electronic properties.
