Hyperfine structure of ${}^{173}{\mathrm{Yb}}^{+}$: toward resolving the ${}^{173}\mathrm{Yb}$ nuclear octupole moment puzzle

Di Xiao, Jiguang Li, Wesley C. Campbell +5

Hyperfine structure (HFS) of atomic energy levels arises due to interactions of atomic electrons with a hierarchy of nuclear multipole moments, including magnetic dipole, electric…
