This paper intends to introduce the reader to a recent method of determining the static quadrupole interaction of isomers in solids: LEMS (level mixing spectroscopy). First of all, the basic principle of level mixing is explained, and it is shown how this phenomenon can be observed in the angular distribution of radiation emitted by the decaying isomer. Furthermore, LEMS is compared to level mixing resonances and time differential perturbed angular distribution. It is shown that LEMS is a very attractive method in cases where high spin states are involved, and for isomers with lifetimes up to several milliseconds.
