Abstract

A series of precision measurements of the hyperfine structure of the 5/sup 2/S/sub 1/2/ ground state of two isotopes of atomic rubidium in magnetic fields of up to 8 T was made using a laser optical-pumping technique. Observed departures from the predictions of the Breit-Rabi formula include the first measurement of a magnetically induced quadrupole hyperfine shift. A field dependence of the effective value of the nuclear-to-electronic g-factor ratio g/sub I//g/sub J/ was revealed, and the previous observation of a diamagnetic shift in dipole hyperfine structure in /sup 85/Rb was confirmed and extended to /sup 87/Rb. In order to distinguish among these effects, all of the ..delta..m/sub I/ = +/- 1 nuclear Zeeman transitions in both /sup 85/Rb and /sup 87/Rb were measured at each field. Four evacuated, wax-coated sample cells were used, containing natural isotopic abundance rubidium vapor. Perturbation theory is used to examine the effects of an external magnetic field on the ground-state hyperfine structure of an alkali atom. A Hamiltonian is developed and evaluated to yield a modified Breit-Rabi formula which provides an excellent fit to the experimental data. Approximate calculations performed using this model are in good agreement with the dipole and quadruple results. The shiftmore »« less

The rubidium-85-rubidium-86 hyperfine-structure anomaly

Thesis/Dissertation Braslau, Norman

The atomic-beam magnetic-resonance method with separated oscillatory fields was used to measure the hyperfine structure separation and magnetic dipole moment of the isotopes Rb ⁸⁵ and Rb ⁸⁶. Observation of a Δ F = plus or minus 1 doublet in the magnetic field region where its mean value is a minimum gives the values of these observables; the doublet separation is proportional to the nuclear g factor and the mean doublet frequency is proportional to the hyperfine structure separation. Results obtained on Rb ⁸⁵ are in excellent agreement with previously published values, and indicate that the transition frequencies calculatedmore »« less

Diamagnetic correction to the {sup 9}Be{sup +} ground-state hyperfine constant

Journal Article Shiga, N ; Itano, W M ; Bollinger, J J - Physical Review. A

We report an experimental determination of the diamagnetic correction to the {sup 9}Be{sup +} ground state hyperfine constant A. We measured A = -625 008 837.371(11) Hz at a magnetic field B of 4.4609 T. Comparison with previous results, obtained at lower values of B (0.68 T and 0.82 T), yields the diamagnetic shift coefficient k = 2.63(18)x10{sup -11} T{sup -2}, where A(B)=A{sub 0}(1+kB{sup 2}). The zero-field hyperfine constant A{sub 0} is determined to be -625 008 837.044(12) Hz. The g-factor ratio g{sub I}{sup '}/g{sub J} is determined to be 2.134 779 852 7(10)x10{sup -4}, which is equal to themore »« less

THE Rb$sup 85$-Rb$sup 86$ HYPERFINE-STRUCTURE ANAOMALY

Technical Report Braslau, N ; Brink, G O ; Khan, J M

The atomic beam magnetic-resonance method with separated oscillatory fields was used to measure the hyperfine structure separation and magnetic dipole moment of the isotopes Rb/sup 85/ and 18.6d Rb/sup 86/ in the /sup 2/S/sub 1/2/ electr onic ground state. Observation of the separation of a DELTA F = plus or minus 1 doublet in the intermediate field region gave the value of the moment; the minimum value of the mean doublet frequency gave the value of DELTA nu . Obserwation of another DELTA F = plus or minus 1 doublet in low field also yielded a value for plus ormore »« less
g J -Factors of the alkali atoms Rb ⁸⁵, Rb ⁸⁷, and Cs ¹³³ in the ground state (in German)

Journal Article Wilke, W. - European Physical Journal. A

From measurements of magnetic dipole transitions between the Zeeman components of the hyperfine structure (hfs) doublets, the g factors of the atoms Rb ⁸⁵, Rb ⁸⁷, and Cs ¹³³ were measured in the ground state ²S _1/2. The transition frequencies lie at 9470 MHz and the magnetic fields between 1 and 5 kG. The observed absorption lines all have, at a vapor pressure of 0.07 mm Hg, the same line width of 0.45 G. The g _j factor of Cs ¹³³ is above the theoretical value, whereas the g factors of Rb ⁸⁵ and Rb ⁸⁷ agree well withmore »« less

Analytic determination of the hyperfine-assisted Zeeman shift for the deuterium atom

Journal Article Harris, R A ; Pitzer, R M - Phys. Rev. A; (United States)

Small extra Zeeman shifts measured in the ground states of /sup 85/Rb and /sup 87/Rb have previously been shown to be due to the hyperfine interaction to second order coupled with the Zeeman interaction to first order. Approximate theoretical calculations yielded effective frequencies for the two isotopes of 0.016 Hz/T and 0.18 Hz/T, respectively, in good agreement with experiments. We calculate exactly the same shift for the 1s and 2s states of /sup 2/H by perturbation differential equations. For the 1s and 2s states the respective frequencies are 2.61 x 10/sup -5/ Hz/T and 2.56 x 10/sup -5/ Hz/T.
