Magnetic Hyperfine Structure of the Ground State of Lithium

Abstract: The magnetic hyperfine splitting of the 2 S ground state of the lithium atom is calculated. It is shown that the discrepancy between experiment and the value calculated in the traditional Hartree-Fock approximation can be accounted for quantitatively by the exchange polarization effect, which distorts one Is orbital relative to the other. The present calculation obtains a value within one percent of the experimental value. A general procedure is proposed for evaluating operators that do not commute with the Ha… Show more

“…In particular, one calculation based on configurations biased towards hfs gives the expected good hfs result but a poor energy, while the reverse is true of the other calculation. 8 ' 27 These results have been interpreted by Nesbet 27 to indicate again the near independence of spin polarization and correlation effects.…”

“…Their results on a, using the traditional Hartree-Fock" are always in very poor agreement with experiments; thus indicating the necessity of taking into account the correlation and other corrections. Nesbet [5] has calculated a, (using configuration interaction (CI) wave functions) for Li [7] which agrees within 1 % of the experimental value; while Sachs [3] has reported a, calculated using projected unrestricted HartreeFock (PUHF) and unrestricted Hartree-Fock (UHF) wave functions and obtaining thus a great improvement over the a, from Hartree-Fock functions.…”

“…I n particular we must mention the work of Sachs [3], Goodings [4] , Nesbet [5] , and Malli and Fraga [6]. Their results on a, using the traditional Hartree-Fock" are always in very poor agreement with experiments; thus indicating the necessity of taking into account the correlation and other corrections.…”
