Hyperfine quenching of the 2 s 2 p 3 P 0 state of berylliumlike ions

چکیده
The hyperfine-induced 2s2p P0−2s 2 S0 transition rate for Be-like 47Ti18+ was recently measured in a storage-ring experiment by Schippers et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 033001 (2007)]. The measured value of 0.56(3) s−1 is almost 60% larger than the theoretical value of 0.356 s−1 from a multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock calculation by Marques et al. [Phys. Rev. A 47, 929 (1993)]. In this work, we use a large-scale relativistic configuration-interaction method to calculate these hyperfine-induced rates for ions with Z = 6− 92. Coherent hyperfine-quenching effects between the 2s2p P1 states are included in a perturbative as well as a radiation damping approach. Contrary to the claims of Marques et al., contributions from the P1 state are substantial and lead to a hyperfine-induced rate of 0.67 s−1, in better agreement with, though larger than, the measured value.

Interference effects in hyperfine induced 2 s 2 s 3 P 0 , 3 P 2 → 2 s 2 1 S 0 transitions of Be - like ions
The hyperfine induced 2s2p P0, P2 → 2s 2 S0 E1 transition probabilities of Be-like ions were calculated using grasp2K based on multi-configuration Dirac-Fock method and HFST packages. It was found that the hyperfine quenching rates are strongly affected by the interference for low-Z Be-like ions, especially for 2s2p P0 → 2s2 S0 transition. In particular, the trends of interference effects with ...
متن کاملHyperfine structure of 2 P levels of heliumlike ions
A systematic calculation of the hyperfine structure of 2 P levels of heliumlike ions is presented. Reduced matrix elements of the magnetic-dipole hyperfine operator between substates of the 2 P states are evaluated using relativistic configuration-interaction wave functions that account for both Coulomb and Breit interactions. These matrix elements, together with the energy intervals DE105E(2 P...

The hyperfine structure of highly charged 238 92 U ions with rotationally excited nuclei Abstract The hyperfine structure (hfs) of electron levels of 238 92 U ions with the nucleus excited in the low-lying rotational 2 + state with an energy E 2 + = 44.91 keV is investigated. In hydrogenlike uranium, the hfs splitting for the 1s 1/2-ground state of the electron constitutes 1.8 eV. The hyperfine...

Relativistic formulas for the electric quadrupole moment of a hydrogenlike atom, induced by the hyperfine interaction, are derived for ns and np1/2 states. Both the magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole hyperfine interactions are taken into account. The formulas are valid for ions with arbitrary nuclear charge and spin. The induced quadrupole moment is compared with the nuclear quadrupole mom...
