Hyperfine structure of the $2^3S-$state in the ${}^9$Be atom

Abstract

A number of bound states properties and the hyperfine structure of the 23S(L=0)-state in the Be atom are determined from the results of highly accurate computations. The energies of the hyperfine structure levels for this state are {\epsilon}(F=12) = -13725.635(7) MHz, {\epsilon}(F=32) = -5490.254(7) MHz and {\epsilon}(F=52) = 8235.381(7) MHz, respectively. The hyperfine structure splittings are {\Delta}12 = 8235.381(7) MHz and {\Delta}23 = 13725.635(7) MHz, respectively. The spectrum of low-lying (bound) triplet states in the Be atom is briefly investigated.
