Nature of a nonzero frequency shift of a hyperfine transition in two-dimensional atomic hydrogen

We propose the explanation of a small yet finite frequency shift of a hyperfine transition in two-dimensional atomic hydrogen bound to the surface of superfluid helium at T < 0.1 K. The nonzero shift is caused, first, by the interaction between adsorbed atoms, which effectively reduces their binding energy to the helium surface by a value proportional to their density and, consequently, reduces the deviation of the hyperfine constant from the free-atom value. Second, the transition between the hyperfine states b and c is shifted owing to a difference in the interaction of the b and c atoms with the residual atoms in the state a that appear due to one and two-body nuclear relaxation. This shift is also linear in the density of the two-dimensional gas. The net effect of the two contributions qualitatively agrees with the experimentally observed value of the shift.

We report here on the measurement of isotope shift and hyperfine splitting of^{190, 191, 193, 197}Pb for the 723 nm atomic optical transition. Detailed analysis of the optical data has been done by combining them with the available muonic and electronicx-ray isotope shift data. The magnetic dipole moments and the electric quadrupole moments of the odd isotopes have been extracted from the hyperfine coupling constants of the atomic states involved in the optical transition used.

Thermal loss mechanism in the generation of multifrequency laser emission via stimulated Raman scattering and four-wave Raman mixing studied by photothermal refraction spectroscopy

The heat produced in conjunction with the processes of stimulated Raman scattering and four-wave Raman mixing in hydrogen was measured by photothermal refraction spectroscopy. Many vibrational, rotational, and vibrationally shifted rotational Raman lines are exclusively/simultaneously generated by changing the polarization of the laser beam and the hydrogen pressure. Thermal loss occurs predominantly from vibrational Raman scattering, which can be ascribed to a large Raman shift frequency of 4155 cm^-1 for the vibrational transition. In contrast to stimulated Raman scattering, little or no thermal loss is observable during the process of four-wave Raman mixing.

2s Hyperfine splitting in light hydrogen-like atoms: Theory and experiment

Since the combination D ₂₁ = 8f _HFS(2s)-f _HFS(1s) of hyperfine intervals in hydrogen and light two-body hydrogen-like atomic systems weakly depends on the nuclear structure, comparison between theory and experiment can be sensitive to high order QED corrections. New theoretical and experimental results are presented. Calculations have been performed for the hydrogen and deuterium atoms and for the helium-3 ion. Experiments on the 2s hyperfine splitting (responsible for the dominant contribution to the error in D ₂₁) have been conducted for hydrogen and deuterium. The theory and experiment are in good agreement, and their accuracy is comparable to that attained in verifying the QED theory of the hyperfine splitting in leptonic atoms (muonium and positronium).     

Precision spectroscopy of metastable hydrogen and antihydrogen with a Lamb-shift polarimeter

A spinfilter, the most important component of a Lamb-shift polarimeter, can be used to produce a beam of metastable hydrogen (deuterium) atoms in one hyperfine state (α1, α2 and together with the Sona transition β3). As function of a magnetic field separated transitions between the 2S _1/2 metastable hyperfine states seem to be observable as well as single transitions into the short-lived 2P _1/2 and 2P _3/2 states. The Breit-Rabi diagrams for these states can be measured with good precision. Furthermore, the hyperfine splittings and the Lamb shift can be observed as well. Application of this method to anti-hydrogen atoms are suggested.     

Hyperfine fields of 5sp shell impurities substituting Sb in the Heusler alloys Pd2MnSb and PdMnSb

Measurements of the hyperfine magnetic fields B_hf of Te and I impurities substituting Sb in the Heusler alloys Pd₂MnSb and PdMnSb clearly establish that the curve of B_hf versus impurity atomic number is shifted to the right by about 1 unit of atomic number for PdMnSb relative to Pd₂MnSb. This phenomenon, and the general shape of the curve can be understood in terms of the conduction electron polarization model developed by Blandin and Campbell.     

在一个具有超精细结构的四能级原子系统中的拉曼散射

在一个具有超精细结构的四能级原子系统中，为了压抑暂态过程和稳态过程两种情况下的弱探测光束的吸收，我们提出和分析了一种有效的拉曼散射计划。对于暂态过程，借助一个漂亮的Mathematic程序进行数值计算，我们发现在探测跃迁线中心探测吸收的幅度与一般的基于电磁感应透明的三能级原子系统相比要小。对于稳态情况，结果表明探测吸收在线中心能够被彻底地消除，正像通常的三能级电磁感应透明方案。特别地，我们的结果表明在拉曼共振的条件下探测吸收能够被彻底地消除，也就是说，对于稳态过程我们仅仅要求双光子失谐量在超精细二能级频率间隙内是零。与标准的三能级电磁感应透明方案相比，我们的四能级拉曼计划的优点之一是在拉曼共振条件下我们能观察到透明窗口，不需要严格地单光子和双光子失谐量为零。因此，原子超精细结构对于获取电磁感应透明不是一个障碍。     

Plasma effects in the spectrum of high Balmer lines

Measurements of high Balmer lines (N_upper = 12 to 19) emitted from a hydrogen discharge of relatively low plasma density show that the spectrum may be well reproduced by a superposition of symmetric Stark profiles, which accounts for the broadening effect generated by ions and quasistatic electrons. The small deviations which were found most probably involve inelastic electron collisions connecting adjacent upper levels. Within experimental accuracy, a shift is not detectable either for odd or for even series members. This finding is inconsistent with the observations of other authors according to which odd Balmer lines are shifted to the red.     

On the influence of spin-orbit scattering on the Kondo effect

It is shown that the hyperfine splitting of the levels 2s _1/2 and 2p _1/2 of atomic hydrogen has a measurable influence on the mixing of these levels in a weak electric field.     

Collision frequency shift of hyperfine transitions in atomic hydrogen at a low temperature

The experimental results on the collision frequency shift of ESR in diluted two-and three-dimensional atomic hydrogen at ultralow temperature have been analyzed. The apparent contradiction between experiment and theory is resolved by taking into account the relation between the symmetry of the state of two atoms and their total electron spin S. For example, transitions between symmetric and antisymmetric states of a pair of atoms induced by a symmetric perturbation are forbidden. If symmetric and antisymmetric states are, respectively, pure electronic triplets (S= 1) and singlets (S = 0), this results in the cancellation of the singlet-triplet transitions. Thus, the collision frequency shift of b → c and b → a transitions vanishes in a completely electron and nuclear spin-polarized gas (hyperfine state b). The comparison is performed with experiments in ultracold alkali vapors.     

Limits placed on the existence of magnetic charge in the proton by the ground-state hyperfine splitting of hydrogen

If the proton contained equal amounts of opposite magnetic charges, as is required by certain “quark” models, the Fermi contact part of the hyperfine interaction would change markedly. This in turn would affect the ground-state hyperfine splitting of atomic hydrogen. Comparison of the theoretical and experimental values of the hyperfine splitting yields δ = ?(1.6±2.7) × 10^?6, where δ is the fraction of the proton magnetic moment due to the magnetic charges. δ is well consistent with zero.

High-precision optical measurement of the 2S hyperfine interval in atomic hydrogen

We have applied an optical method to the measurement of the 2S hyperfine interval in atomic hydrogen. The interval has been measured by means of two-photon spectroscopy of the 1S-2S transition on a hydrogen atomic beam shielded from external magnetic fields. The measured value of the 2S hyperfine interval is equal to 177 556 860(16) Hz and represents the most precise measurement of this interval to date. The theoretical evaluation of the specific combination of 1S and 2S hyperfine intervals D21 is in fair agreement (within 1.4 sigma) with the value for D21 deduced from our measurement.     

Isotopic shift in the3P1-3P0 Mg transition

High precision frequency measurements of the³ P ₁-³ P ₀ transitions have been performed for the three natural abundant Mg-isotopes in a metastable atomic beam. A second order hyperfine theory for two-electron atoms allows the determination of the centre-of-gravity for²⁵Mg and then the evaluation of the isotopic shift displacements. The high resolution frequency measurements (10^?8) show a noticeable departure of the total shift from a linear dependence with respect to the atomic mass.     

Pressure effects on inter‐ and intramolecular vibrations in hydrogen‐bonded L‐ascorbic acid crystal

Pressure effects on the Raman spectra due to the inter‐ and intramolecular vibrations of the L ‐ascorbic acid crystal were studied. The intensity of the Raman bands due to the intermolecular vibrations varies in three different ways by application of pressure. The bands of the first group become stronger, those of the second one become weaker and the third group shows no prominent change in their intensity with increasing pressure. The bands due to the intermolecular vibrations show a blue shift, while the bands due to the intramolecular vibrations shift to the blue or red depending on the vibrational modes by application of pressure. The bands assigned to the O H stretching vibrations shift to the red, the bands assigned to the CO and CC stretching vibrations shift a little to the red and the bands assigned to the other vibrations shift to the blue under high pressure. The following conclusions were derived. (1) The hydrogen bonds forming helixes become stronger and the isolated hydrogen bond becomes weaker with increasing pressure. (2) The bands of the first group owing to the intermolecular vibrations are ascribed to the vibrations related to the helix hydrogen bonds and the second group bands to the isolated hydrogen bond. (3) The CO stretching vibration couples with the CC stretching vibration. (4) The phase transitions take place at 1.8 and 4 GPa in the crystal. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

High-pressure hydrogenated fullerenes: Optical spectra and stability of C<Subscript>60</Subscript>H<Subscript>36</Subscript> at high pressure

The optical Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the high-pressure hydrogenated fullerene C₆₀ are studied at normal conditions and at high pressure. The Raman spectrum of the most stable hydrofullerene C₆₀H₃₆ contains a large number of peaks related to various isomers of this molecule. Comparison of the experimental data with the results of calculations shows that the most abundant isomers have the symmetries S₆, T, and D_3d. The Raman spectrum of deuterofullerene C₆₀H₃₆ is similar to that of C₆₀H₃₆, but the frequencies of the C-H stretching and bending modes are shifted due to the isotopic effect. The PL spectrum of hydrofullerene C₆₀H₃₆ is shifted to higher energies by approximately 1 eV with respect to that of pristine C₆₀. The effect of hydrostatic pressure on the Raman and PL spectra of C₆₀H₃₆ has been investigated up to 12 GPa. The pressure dependence of the phonon frequencies exhibits peculiarities at approximately 0.6 and 6 GPa. The changes observed at approximately 0.6 GPa are probably related to a phase transition from the initial orientationally disordered body-centered cubic structure to an orientationally ordered structure. The peculiarity at approximately 6 GPa may be related to a pressure-driven enhancement of the C-H interaction between the hydrogen and carbon atoms belonging to neighboring molecular cages. The pressure-induced shift of the photoluminescence spectrum of C₆₀H₃₆ is very small up to 6 GPa, and a negative pressure shift was observed at higher pressure. All the observed pressure effects are reversible with pressure.     

Hyperfine structure and isotope shift of highly excited barium-I states

High-resolution laser-spectroscopy measurements of hyperfine structure and isotope shifts were performed for the 6snd ¹ D ₂ sequence of Ba-I in the regionn=12–24. Stepwise laser excitations of a collimated atomic beam were used. A strong influence on the hyperfine structure is observed at the perturbation atn=14, caused by interaction with the 5d7d configuration. Whereas the isotope shift for the even isotopes stays essentially constant with increasingn, the odd isotopes exhibit a strong change, indicating hyperfine-induced shifts.     

Gravitational Correction to Hyperfine Structure

The effective Hamiltonian of a fermion with spin-spin coupling to another fermion is derived from the non-relativistic approximation of the generally covariant Dirac equation in a weak gravitational field. This makes hyperfine structure of s-state of atomic hydrogen to be triplet other than the doublet in fiat spacetime. The difference is large enough to be measured for the atomic hydrogen on the earth and the sun.
