Hyperfine structure of Eu I

A theoretical analysis is made of the hyperfine structure of the twelve levels of Eu I 4 f 7 ( 8 S ) 6 s 6 p using intermediate-coupled eigenfunctions obtained from a least-squares fit of the energies of the levels. Relativistic effects for the 6 p electron are calculated throughout by tensor-operator techniques. Good agreement is obtained with the observed A values, treating as parameters the polarization of the core (by the f electrons) and the hyperfine interaction constant of the 6 s electron. The magnitude of the core polarization is related to data on Eu I 4 f 7 ( 8 S ) 6s 2 , Euii 4 f 7 ( 8 s ) 6 s , and Eu III 4 f 7 ( 8 S ). The hyperfine-structure anomalies also fall into a consistent pattern. The observed B values are related to quadrupole moments of 151 Eu and 153 Eu.

The direct and core-polarization contributions to the Knight shift in palladium metal have been calculated taking an enhancement factor of 10 for d- and 1.28 for s-electrons. We found a large negative contribution of - 3.88% for the core electrons and a comparatively small direct contribution of 0.18% for s-electrons on the Fermi surface. Together with an estimated contribution of 0.36% for conduction electrons in s-orbitals, but not on the Fermi surface, the calculated total amount of - 3.34% is in good agreement with the experimental value of - 4% obtained by the Jaccarino plot for palladium at 0 K

Energies and oscillator strengths for the spin-allowed 5s2 1S0 – 5s5p 1P1 and spin-forbidden 5s2 1S0 – 5s5p 3P1 transitions in neutral strontium and singly ionized yttrium are determined in relativistic multiconfiguration Dirac–Fock computations where modest relativistic configuration mixing to represent intravalence correlation is combined with a polarization model to account for valence–core electron correlation. It is demonstrated, by comparison of the results corrected for electron correlation with those obtained from relativistic intermediate coupling Dirac–Fock calculations, that both intravalence and core–valence correlation are important for achieving good agreement with experiment. However, for neutral strontium it is the intravalence correlation that seems to be more important whereas for the isoelectronic singly ionized yttrium the core-valence correlation, as represented by the core-polarization model, dominates. A delicate balance resulting from the partial collapse of the 4d orbital in Y+ may be a reason for the greater sensitivity to core polarization in this system.

AbstractThe hyperfine structure of the ground state of vanadium, 51VI, is calculated in the nonrelativistic framework of the multi-configuration Hartree-Fock approximation. A configuration state function limiting algorithm is used to make the calculations feasible and to study the influence of core, valence and core-valence correlations in detail. The obtained configuration state function space captures the most important orbital correlations within 2%. Further correlations are included through configuration interaction calculation. The atomic state functions are used to evaluate the magnetic dipole hyperfine factor A and the electric quadrupole factor B. It turns out that the ab initio calculation can not capture the core polarization of the 2s shell. It introduces an error that is higher than the Hartree-Fock approximation. However, the detailed correlations being observed suggest the introduction of a wrong correlation orbital due to the algorithm being used. Neglecting this orbital leads to good agreement with 2% deviation from the experimental values for the A factors.

The hyperfine-structure constants of the lowest s and p1/2 states of superheavy elements E113 and E114+ are presented in this article. The relativistic Hartree-Fock method with the core polarization being taken into account by means of the many-body perturbation theory. Breit and quantum electrodynamic (QED) effects are also considered. Similar calculations for Tl and Pb+ are used to gauge the accuracy of the calculations.

Single-configuration relativistic Hartree – Fock values of the first ionization potentials for Cu through Kr7+, Ag through 16+, and Au through Pb3+ are computed in "frozen" and "relaxed core" approximations with and without allowance for core polarization. Effects of the polarization of the atomic core by the valence electron are included by introducing a polarization potential in the one-electron Hamiltonian of the valence electron. The core polarization potential depends on two parameters, the static dipole polarizability of the core α and the cut-off radius r0, which are chosen independently of the ionization potential data. It is demonstrated that by including the core polarization potential with a and r0 parameters which are simply chosen instead of being empirically fitted, it is still possible to account, on the average, for at least 70% of the discrepancy between the single-configuration relativistic Hartree – Fock ionization potentials and the experiment, a discrepancy usually ascribed to the contribution of valence-core electron correlations, and to bring the theoretical ionization potentials to an average agreement with experiment of around 1%. The core polarization contribution to ionization potentials is also compared with the contribution of the relaxation of the core and with relativistic effects. An estimate of 55.0 ± 0.1 eV is suggested as the best value of the ionization potential of Sb4+.


Theoretical and experimental work has been carried out on the quadrupole interaction constant, B , for the ground state of manganese, whose ground configuration is a half-filled d shell. In the non-relativistic limit B = 0. The theory is based on a new relativistic calculation involving the use of an effective operator acting between non-relativistic states, and a non-vanishing value of B has been obtained. To check the theory, the hyperfine structure of the ground state of manganese has been remeasured by the method of atomic beams and an experimental value of B has been found. The results are B rei . ≈ — 0.019 Mc/s, B expt> = — 0.0183 ± 0.0008 Mc/s. The agreement is satisfactory as to sign and order of magnitude, but high precision is not claimed for the theoretical result

Theoretical predictions of the electron affinity of Ca vary from 0 to 130 meV. Not all calculations have included the same effects. In this paper, the different approaches are reviewed, the effect of assumptions estimated whenever possible, and some new ab initio results reported that estimate the effect of core polarization on electron affinity for both Ca and Sc. For the latter our predicted electron affinity is in good agreement with the experimental value for the lowest 4s23d4p1D state and underestimates the electron affinity for 4s23d4p3D, where the calculation of outer correlation is more demanding and the core-polarization effect is small.


The nuclear magnetic dipole moments of 151 Eu and 153 Eu have been re-measured. The revised values (corrected for diamagnetic shielding) are: μ( 151 Eu) = 3.4630 ± 0-0006 n.m., μ( 153 Eu) = 1.5292 ± 0-0008 n.m. The ratio of the moments is μ( 151 Eu)/μ( 153 Eu) = 2.26505 ±0.00042. These results were obtained by the method of triple resonance in an atomic beam. The hyperfine structure anomaly in the ground state of the europium atom is zero within limits of error. In this special circumstance it is shown that part of the nuclear magnetic dipole interaction is explained by relativistic effects. The quadrupole interaction is treated by the same theory, and good agreement with experiment is obtained, but high precision is not claimed for the theoretical result. This theory is based on a new relativistic calculation involving the use of an effective operator acting between non-relativistic states.
