One-loop binding corrections to the electron factor
We calculate the one-loop electron self-energy correction of order
to the bound electron factor. Our result is in
agreement with the extrapolated numerical value and paves the way for the
calculation of the analogous, but as yet unknown two-loop correction.Comment: 4 page
Quantum electrodynamics corrections to the fine splitting in Li
We consider quantum electrodynamics (QED) corrections to the fine splitting
in the Li atom. We derive complete formulas for the
and contributions and calculate them
numerically using highly optimized, explicitly correlated basis functions. The
obtained results resolve disagreement between measurements and lay the
foundations for investigation of QED effects in light, many-electron atoms.Comment: 11 page
Singular Hylleraas three-electron integrals
Calculations of the leading quantum electrodynamics effects in few electron
systems involve singular matrix elements of the inter-electronic distances of
the form and . Integrals that result when the
nonrelativistic wave function is represented with a Hylleraas basis
representation are studied. Recursion relations for various powers of the
electron coordinates and the master integrals are derived in a form suited for
high precision numerical evaluations.Comment: 20 pages, accepted for Phys. Rev.
Ground state hyperfine splitting in the Be ion
Relativistic and QED corrections are calculated for the hyperfine splitting
(hfs) in the ground state of Be ions with an exact account
for electronic correlations. The achieved accuracy is sufficient to determine
the finite nuclear size effects from the comparison to the experimental hfs
value. The obtained results establish the ground to determine the neutron halo
in Be.Comment: 7 page
Refractive index and generalized polarizability
We investigate the role of retardation corrections to polarizability and to
refractive index. We found that the classical electromagnetic theory of
dielectrics requires corresponding modifications in terms of nonlocality of the
dielectric constant. This nonlocality should be taken into account in the
interpretation of accurate measurements of the optical refractivity.Comment: 4 page
Quantum electrodynamics and corrections to the fine splitting in Li and Be
We derive quantum electrodynamics corrections to the fine structure in
three-electron atomic systems at and
orders and present their numerical evaluations for the Li atom and Be ion
Hyperfine structure in the HD molecule
We investigate interactions between the proton spin, the deuteron spin, and
the orbital angular momentum in the electronic ground state of the HD molecule.
These interactions lead to hyperfine splittings of molecular energy levels. Our
numerical results for the first rotational level agree well with the currently
most accurate measurement performed by Ramsey {\em et al.} in the 1950s.
Knowledge of the hyperfine structure of other levels is necessary for the
accurate determination of rovibrational transition energies in spectroscopic
measurements. We present theoretical predictions and share the numerical code
used to perform numerical calculations. This work sets the ground for high
precision spectroscopic tests of hyperfine interactions in molecular systems.
In particular we determine the value of the deuteron quadrupole moment fm and give outlook for improving its accuracy by three orders
of magnitude.Comment: 9 pages, three figures, corrected notatio
Explicitly correlated wave function for a boron atom
We present results of high-precision calculations for a boron atom's
properties using wave functions expanded in the explicitly correlated Gaussian
basis. We demonstrate that the well-optimized 8192 basis functions enable a
determination of energy levels, ionization potential, and fine and hyperfine
splittings in atomic transitions with nearly parts per million precision. The
results open a window to a spectroscopic determination of nuclear properties of
boron including the charge radius of the proton halo in the B nucleus
Deuteron and triton magnetic moments from NMR spectra of the hydrogen molecule
We present a theory and calculations of the nuclear magnetic shielding with
finite nuclear mass effects and determine magnetic moments of deuteron and
triton using the known NMR spectra of HD and HT molecules. The results and are
more accurate and in a good agreement with the currently accepted values.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figur
Electromagnetic moments of the bound system of charged particles
We consider a bound system of particles interacting via electromagnetic
forces in an external electromagnetic field, including leading relativistic
corrections. Each particle has a definite mass, charge, spin, and charge
radius. We introduce suitable canonical transformations and a perturbation
scheme to obtain a Hamiltonian which describes the global dynamics of the
system. This enables the derivation of formulas for various electromagnetic
moments, such as the magnetic dipole moment, the mean square charge radius, and
the electric dipole polarizability.Comment: improved two-column version, 8 page
