Abstract: We investigate the distribution of alphap modulo one in quadratic number fields mathbbK with class number one, where p is restricted to prime elements in the ring of integers of mathbbK. Here we improve the relevant exponent 1/4 obtained by the first and third named authors for imaginary quadratic number fields cite{BT} and by the first and second named authors for real quadratic number fields cite{BM} to 7/22. This generalizes a result of Harman cite{HarZi} who obtained the same exponent 7/22 for mathbbQ(i) by extending his method which gave this exponent for mathbbQ cite{harman1996on-the-distribu}. Our proof is based on an extension of his sieve method to arbitrary number fields. Moreover, we need an asymptotic evaluation of certain smooth sums over prime ideals appearing in cite{BM}, for which we use analytic properties of Hecke L-functions with Gr"oss encharacters.
