Clearly resolved hyperfine structure has been observed in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) spectra of the C (1)Pi, v=0-X (1)Sigma(+), v=0 transition of H(19)F obtained through 1 XUV+1 UV resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization spectroscopy. The hyperfine splitting within the R-branch lines shows significant perturbations, which we attribute to mixing with the rotational levels of the nearby v=29...

We demonstrate the preparation and probing of the coherence between the hyperfine ground states |S(1/2),F=1> and |5S(1/2),F=2> of the Rb87 isotope. The effects of various coherence control techniques, i.e., fractional stimulated Raman adiabatic passage and coherent population return, on the coherence are investigated. These techniques are implemented using nearly degenerate pump and Stokes lase...

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...

The constituent quark model based on a hypercentral approach takes into account three-body force effects and standard two-body potential contributions. The quark potential contains a hypercentral interaction, to which a hyperfine term is added. While the hypercentral potential supplies good values for the centroid energies of the resonance multiplets and a realistic set of quark wave functions,...

He-droplet-induced changes of the hyperfine structure constants of alkali-metal atoms are investigated by a combination of relativistically corrected ab initio methods with a simulation of the helium density distribution based on He density functional theory. Starting from an accurate description of the variation of the hyperfine structure constant in the M-He diatomic systems (M=Li, Na, K, Rb)...

We present a quantum solution to the electron spin decoherence by a nuclear pair-correlation method for the electron-nuclear spin dynamics under a strong magnetic field and a temperature high for the nuclear spins but low for the electron. The theory incorporates the hyperfine interaction, the intrinsic both direct and indirect nuclear interactions, and the extrinsic nuclear coupling mediated b...

The electronic structure and the location of muonium centers (Mu) in single-crystalline ZnO were determined for the first time. Two species of Mu centers with extremely small hyperfine parameters have been observed below 40 K. Both Mu centers have an axial-symmetric hyperfine structure along with a <0001> axis, indicating that they are located at the antibonding (AB(O, parallel )) and bond-cent...

We have used density functional theory methods to investigate the solid-state "magic-angle" spinning (MAS) NMR and single-crystal NMR/ENDOR spectra of paramagnetic organometallic complexes and metalloporphyrins. The solid-state MAS NMR chemical shifts (including both diamagnetic and hyperfine contributions) are predicted with a slope of 1.007 and an R2 = 0.967, corresponding to a 28 ppm (or 6.3...

The fluorescence spectra of a sub-micron atomic cesium vapor layer observable under resonant excitation on D2 line have been studied in the presence of an external magnetic field. Substantial changes in amplitudes and frequency positions of the individual (resolved) hyperfine transitions have been recorded in moderate magnetic fields (up to ∼ 50 Gauss). These features are caused by mixing of th...

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...
