ELECTRONIC POLARIZABILITIES AND STERNHEIMER SHIELDING FACTORS

Abstract

A new method is developed for determining the distortions (polarizabilities) induced in electronic distributions by valence electrons and/or crystalline fields and their effect (expressed as Sternheimer shielding factors) on magnetic and electric hyperfine interactions. For illustrative purposes emphasis is placed on the calculation of Sternheimer anti-shielding factors. Working within the framework of the Hartree-Fock self-consistent-field formalism, it is shown that the angular excitations are gotten by relaxing the usual restriction that the spatial part of the one-electron functions be separable into a radial function times an angular function; relaxing the restriction that electrons of the same shell but differing in magnetic quantum number have the same radial function yields the radial excitations.
