Relativistic coupled-cluster theory of quadrupole moments and hyperfine structure constants of the 5d- states in Ba

چکیده
The narrow optical frequency resonances of the 6s 2S1/2 → 5d 2D3/2 and 6s 2S1/2 → 5d 2D5/2 forbidden transitions in Ba have been proposed as suitable frequencies for a new optical frequency standard. The major sources of errors in measurements of singly ionized systems are due to the quadratic Zeeman and electric quadrupole shifts. We report here the most accurate calculations to date for the hyperfine structure constants and electric-quadrupole moments of the 5d 2D3/2 and 5d 2D5/2 states in Ba , which determine the quadratic Zeeman and electric quadrupole shifts. Relativistic coupled-cluster theory has been employed to calculate these quantities and large electron correlation effects are observed. It is also shown that for the high accuracy calculation of the 5d 2D5/2 state in Ba, all order core-polarization effects play a significant role.

Quadrupole moments and hyperfine constants of metastable states of Ca+, Sr+, Ba+, Yb+, Hg+, and Au
Atomic quadrupole moments and hyperfine constants of the metastable D3/2,5/2 states of Ca +, Sr+, Ba+, Yb+, and Hg+ are calculated by the multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock and relativistic configuration-interaction methods. For Hg+, the configuration is 5d96s2. For the other ions, the configuration consists of a single d-electron outside a set of closed shells. Current interest in the quadr...
متن کاملNuclear quadrupole moment of 43 Ca and hyperfine structure studies of its singly charged ion
By combining our theoretical calculation and recently measured electric quadrupole hyperfine structure constant of the 3d 2 D 5/2 state in the singly ionized 43 Ca, we determine its nuclear quadrupole moment to one percent accuracy. The obtained result, −0.0444(6)b, is about ten percent improvement over the considered standard value. We have employed the relativistic coupled-cluster theory at s...

Relativistic coupled cluster theory is used to determine accurate electric field gradients in order to provide a theoretical value for the nuclear quadrupole moment of (139)La. Here we used the diatomic lanthanum monohalides LaF, LaCl, LaBr, and LaI as accurate nuclear quadrupole coupling constants are available from rotational spectroscopy by Rubinoff et al. [J. Mol.

متن کاملTheoretical overview of atomic parity violation
Recent advances in interpreting the most accurate to-date measurement of atomic parity violation in Cs are reviewed. The inferred nuclear weak charge, QW ( Cs) = −72.65(28)expt(36)theor, agrees with the prediction of the standard model at 1σ level. Further improved interpretation is limited by an accuracy of solving basic correlation problem of atomic structure. We report on our progress in sol...
