An electric quadrupole moment ( moment) is sensitive to collective aspects of nuclear structure. In the -moment measurement for unstable nuclei, we employ the -detected nuclear-quadrupole resonance method. In this method, we need to supply resonance frequencies, where denotes the nuclear spin. We have developed a new RF-application system to induced all of the transitions. The application of the frequencies may be pursued in two different ways; the sequential RF pulse method and the mixed-wave RF pulse method. We confirmed the reversal of polarization for the both methods, from measurements of -ray asymmetry change for polarized B. Using this system, the moments of Al have been measured to be mb and mb by the sequential RF pulse method.
