The dipolar broadening of the NMR on short-lived β-emitter 8Li implanted in single crystal Cu has been observed as a function of crystal orientation at several temperatures. From the orientation angle dependence of the line width, it was found that the main component of the 8Li occupies substitutional site, while about 30% of 8Li occupies octahedral interstitial site at temperatures below 300 K.
