Abstract:In this paper we study the influence of electron screening on the Bohr-Weisskopf (BW) effect in manyelectron atoms. The BW effect gives the finite-nucleus magnetization contribution to the hyperfine structure. Relativistic atomic many-body calculations are performed for s and p 1/2 states of several systems of interest for studies of atomic parity violation and time-reversal-violating electric dipole moments -Rb, Cs, Fr, Ba + , Ra + , and Tl. For s states, electron screening effects are small, and the relative… Show more
