Spin exchange polarization and hfs anomaly measurement of β-active37K

Rf-spectroscopic measurements in the atomic ground state of the 1.2 sec-isotope³⁷K yielded independent values of magnetic moment μ _I (³⁷K)=0.20320 (6) nm (diamagnetically corrected), hfs separation ΔW(³⁷K)=240.2672 (7) MHz and the resulting hfs anomaly³⁷Δ³⁹=(0.249±0.035) · 10^?2. The³⁷K was polarized by spin exchange scattering with optically pumped⁸⁷Rb; as a detector for rf transitions the asymmetry of the β-decay of the polarized³⁷K nuclei was used. A detailed analysis of the spin exchange mechanism under the conditions of experiments of this type was performed. This led to an explanation for the observed strong enhancement of the resonance signal heights by the spin bath. Furthermore the dependence of the nuclear polarization and relaxation time constants on the strength of the hfs coupling could be demonstrated.

Precise measurement of positronium hyperfine splitting using the Zeeman effect

Positronium is an ideal system for the research of the quantum electrodynamics (QED) in bound state. The hyperfine splitting (HFS) of positronium, Δ_HFS, gives a good test of the bound state calculations and probes new physics beyond the Standard Model. A new method of QED calculations has revealed the discrepancy by 15 ppm (3.9σ) of Δ_HFS between the QED prediction and the experimental average. There would be possibility of new physics or common systematic uncertainties in the previous all experiments. We describe a new experiment to reduce possible systematic uncertainties and will provide an independent check of the discrepancy. We are now taking data and the current result of Δ_HFS?=?203.395 1 ±0.002 4 (stat., 12 ppm) ±0.001 9 (sys., 9.5 ppm) GHz has been obtained so far. A measurement with a precision of O(ppm) is expected within a year.     

Hyperfine interactions of the short-lived beta-emitter8Li in ferromagnetic Ni

To complete the systematic study on hyperfine interactions of light impurities in ferromagnetic Ni, the short-lived beta-emitter⁸Li was implanted in a thin polycrystal Ni foil. One of the final sites of⁸Li in Ni was found by means of the beta-NMR technique andits hyperfine field was determined to be -3.65(3) kOe. Simultaneously, the spin lattice relaxation time of⁸Li at the site in Ni was found to be 1.6(4) s. Based on the comparison between these values and theoretical predictions recently made by a first principle calculation, the probable site of⁸Li in Ni is implied to be an octahedral interstitial site.

Ground-state hyperfine splitting of antihydrogen

ASACUSA collaboration at CERN’s antiproton decelerator (CERN AD) plans to measure the ground-state hyperfine splitting (GS-HFS) of antihydrogen () to test the CPT symmetry to high precision. Our scheme is to produce an (anti-) atomic beam with a novel two-frequency superconducting Paul trap, and to use sextupole magnets and a 1.4-GHz cavity to analyze the HFS resonance frequency.      

Instantons and the hyperfine splitting ofB andB Smesons

In this short note we wish to point out that the instanton model, which was theoretically fascinating, has recently found application in explaining the hyperfine splitting of mesons and baryons. In particular, the flavour independence ofM _v ² -M _P ² (i.e. the squared mass difference of the vector and the pseudoscalar mesons), known to be constant for the strange and non-strange mesons in theu,d and the charm quark sectors, have recently been shown to be the same for the beauty sector through experiments. This flavour independence and the magnitude of the splitting agrees remarkably well with the instanton model.     

Hyperfine quantum beat of short-lived beta-emitter8Li polarized by the tilted foil technique

To disclose the basic mechanisms of nuclear polarization creation realized by the tilted foil technique, hyperfine quantum beats of the nuclear polarization of the short-lived beta-emitter⁸Li(I =2⁺,T _1/2=840 ms) were measured as a function of the distance between two tilted foils. From the observed beats of the⁸Li nuclear polarization, it was found that the Fermi-contact interaction of the⁸Li nucleus with the ground 1s-electron in LiIII plays a main role in the final stage of polarization transfer from polarized orbital electrons to the⁸Li nucleus.     

Spin polarization dynamics and the Hanle effect for a strong exchange interaction in the exciton

The exciton spin dynamics in a quantum well with a magnetic field applied in its plane is analyzed theoretically. The exchange interaction between the electron and the hole is assumed to be strong. The width of the Hanle effect profile is shown to depend on the hole spin relaxation time. The intensity signal obtained under pulsed exciton generation as a function of time is characterized by two decay times, and the polarization signal, by a third time which is strongly dependent on the applied field.     

Triplet-singlet interaction in the 1s 2s3S1 hyperfine splitting of he-like Li+

The hyperfine structure (hfs) interaction between the metastable 2³ S ₁ and 2¹ S ₀ states in^{6, 7}Li⁺ causes very small equal and opposite energy level shifts,δ, in the two levels having the same total angular momentum quantum numberF=I. This amounts to 12ppm with respect to the total hfs splitting of 30 GHz for the⁷Li⁺ 2³S₁ state and has been measured for the first time directly for the case of a core-free electronic system by combined laser-microwave spectroscopy. A new calculation ofδ with accurate integral-transform 2¹ S ₀ and 2³S₁ wave functions is reported. Configuration interactions and electron exchange and correlation effects, which differ for parallel (³ S ₁) and antiparallel (¹ S ⁰) spins, are treated in detail in order to obtain very good agreement between measured and theoretical values for this tiny perturbation. A complete understanding ofδ is indispensable for extracting fundamental constants from two-electron spectroscopic data.     

Magnetic charge and hyperfine splitting in hydrogen

The large spatial size of magnetic charges (or dyons) and parity considerations are used to show that in models of the proton based on dyons the hyperfine splitting must be due to the magnetic moment produced by the electric charge. The contributions of the magnetic monopoles cancel, otherwise the proton would have a large electric dipole moment.     

A measurement of the ground state hyperfine splitting for Li-like fluorine ions by nuclear quantum beats

The technique of nuclear quantum beats (perturbed angular correlations) has been applied to the investigation of the hyperfine splitting of the²S_1/2 ground state in Li-like fluorine ions. Using the 197 keV state in¹⁹F as a probe, a value of 73.1 (1.5) GHz was found for the hf splitting. This result is compared with theoretical predictions.

Spin dynamics of polarization inversion spin exchange at the magic angle in multiple spin systems

Polarization inversion spin exchange at the magic angle (PISEMA) [J. Magn. Reson. A 109, 270 (1994)] is an important experiment in NMR structural characterization of membrane proteins in oriented lipid bilayers. This paper presents a theoretical and experimental study of the spin dynamics in PISEMA to investigate the line-narrowing mechanism. The study focuses on the effect of neighboring protons on the spin exchange of a strongly coupled spin pair. The spin exchange is solved analytically for simple spin systems and is numerically simulated for many-spin systems. The results show that the dipolar couplings from the neighboring protons of a strongly coupled spin pair perturb the spin exchange only in the second order, therefore it has little contribution to the linewidth of PISEMA spectra in comparison to the separated-local-field spectra. The effects from proton resonance offset and the mismatch of the Hartmann-Hahn condition are also discussed along with experimental results using model single-crystal samples.

Spin polarization transitions in the FQHE

The spin polarization of the FQHE ground states at fixed filling factors is analyzed within a composite fermion model. As a function of the perpendicular magnetic field several cross‐overs between differently polarized ground states are predicted, in agreement with recent experimental investigations. The magnetic field and temperature scalings of the polarization, as well as the magnetic field dependence of the spin‐flip gap are studied.     

Contact density and hyperfine splitting of positronium in naphthalene

The contact density |Ψ(0)|² and the hyperfine splitting of positronium in naphthalene have been determined by means of a magnetic quenching experiment. Results show that the perturbing effect of the medium on the hyperfine splitting is not interpretable as a change of the contact density alone, since on passing from vacuum to the medium, the contact density and the splitting do not scale together. The first is reduced by a factor of 0.25, the second by a factor of 0.067. A simple phenomenological model is presented.
