We report hyperfine-resolved scalar polarizabilities for cesium’s 8s S1/2 and 9s S1/2 states using resonant two-photon spectroscopy in both an effusive beam and a vapor cell. Electric-field strengths are measured in situ, and the frequency scale is directly referenced to the ground-state hyperfine splitting of atomic rubidium. The measured 8s S1/2 scalar polarizability is 38 370± 380a 0 , which...

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 ...

We investigate the dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) caused by hyperfine coupling between nonequilibrium electronic spins and nuclear spins in semiconductor nanostructures. We derive the time and position dependence of the resulting hyperfine and dipolar magnetic fields. In GaAs quantum wells the induced nuclear spin polarization greatly exceeds the polarization of the electronic system that c...

We present the results of the first quantum chemical investigations of 1H NMR hyperfine shifts in the blue copper proteins (BCPs): amicyanin, azurin, pseudoazurin, plastocyanin, stellacyanin, and rusticyanin. We find that very large structural models that incorporate extensive hydrogen bond networks, as well as geometry optimization, are required to reproduce the experimental NMR hyperfine shif...

We demonstrate a technique for directly measuring the fine-structure interval in alkali atoms using two frequency-stabilized diode lasers. Each laser has a linewidth of order 1 MHz and precise tunability: one laser is tuned to a hyperfine transition in theD1 line, and the other laser to a hyperfine transition in the D2 line. The outputs of the lasers are fed into a scanning Michelson interferom...

We study the nonlinear dynamics of an ensemble of cold trapped atoms with a hyperfine transition magnetically coupled to a resonant microwave cavity mode. Despite the minute single-atom coupling, one obtains strong coupling between collective hyperfine qubits and microwave photons, enabling coherent transfer of an excitation between the long-lived atomic qubit state and the mode. Evidence of st...

The millimeter-wave rotational spectrum of the free 2’?SiC radical in the X 311 ground state, produced in a low-pressure glow discharge through SiH, and CO, was detected with the same reactive-molecule spectrometer used earlier to detect Sic and Si13C. Eleven rotational transitions, all but two with resolved hyperfine structure, were measured between 195 GHz (J = 4+ 5) and 372 GHz (J = 8 --+ 9)...

We propose a new class of atomic microwave clocks based on the hyperfine transitions in the ground state of aluminum or gallium atoms trapped in optical lattices. For such elements magic wavelengths exist at which both levels of the hyperfine doublet are shifted at the same rate by the lattice laser field, cancelling its effect on the clock transition. A similar mechanism for the magic waveleng...

2014 Iodine exhibits the phenomenon of hyperfine predissociation, by which the different hyperfine sublevels of the same rovibronic level are given different lifetimes. This has been verified for the first time by the direct lifetime measurement technique. We determined 0393rad = (0.314 ± 0.018).106 s-1 and the rotational and hyperfine predissociation parameters C03C5 = (5.85 ± 0.65) s-1⁄2 and ...
