چکیده
The spectroscopic hyperfine constants for all the alkali atoms are reported. For from lithium to cesium, only long lived atomic isotopes examined. francium, measured data nuclear ground states of available listed. All results obtained since beginning laser investigations presented, while previous works Arimondo et al. [Rev. Mod. Phys. 49, 31 (1977)] recalled. Global analyses based on scaling laws and anomalies performed.

High-precision measurement of hyperfine structure in the D lines of alkali atoms
We have measured hyperfine structure in the first-excited P state (D lines) of all the naturally-occurring alkali atoms. We use high-resolution laser spectroscopy to resolve hyperfine transitions, and measure intervals by locking the frequency shift produced by an acousto-optic modulator to the difference between two transitions. In most cases, the hyperfine coupling constants derived from our ...
متن کاملSecond-order effects on the hyperfine structure of P states of alkali-metal atoms
We analyze second-order M1-M1 and M1-E2 effects on the hyperfine structure HFS of the lowest-energy P states of alkali-metal atoms arising from the coupling of the two J=1 /2,3 /2 fine-structure levels through the hyperfine interaction. We find these effects to be especially sizable in Li, leading to a 9 correction to the most accurate reported experimental value of the A P1/2 HFS constant of L...
متن کاملThe Nuclear Physics of Hyperfine Structure in Hydrogenic Atoms
The theory of QED corrections to hyperfine structure in light hydrogenic atoms and ions has recently advanced to the point that the uncertainty of these corrections is much smaller than 1 part per million (ppm), while the experiments are even more accurate. The difference of the experimental results and the corresponding QED theory is due to nuclear effects, which are primarily the result of th...
متن کاملPrecision Study of Hyperfine Structure in Simple Atoms
We consider the most accurate tests of bound state QED theory of the hyperfine splitting in two-body atoms related to the HFS interval of the 1s state in muonium and positronium and the 2s state in hydrogen, deuterium and the helium-3 ion. We summarize their QED theory and pay special attention to involved effects of strong interactions and to recent optical measurements of the 2s HFS interval ...
متن کاملNuclear Corrections to Hyperfine Structure in Light Hydrogenic Atoms
Hyperfine intervals in light hydrogenic atoms and ions are among the most accurately measured quantities in physics. The theory of QED corrections has recently advanced to the point that uncalculated terms for hydrogenic atoms and ions are probably smaller than 0.1 parts per million (ppm), and the experiments are even more accurate. The difference of the experiments and QED theory is interprete...
