Christian Møller and Léon Rosenfeld used the electric quadrupole moment of the deuteron to constrain nuclear forces. An isotropic charge distribution has no preferred axis and therefore zero quadrupole moment. A nonzero value requires an internal structure or quantum state that produces an anisotropic charge pattern. Their 1939 work connected this measured electrical property with orientation-dependent forces between the proton and neutron, illustrating how a small static observable can test a microscopic interaction model.[ref]
