In atomic physics, hyperfine structure is a small perturbation in the energy levels (or spectra) of atoms or molecules due to the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction, arising from the interaction of the nuclear magnetic moment with the magnetic field of the electron.
The hyperfine structure transition can be used to make a microwave notch filter with very high stability, repeatability and Q factor, which can thus be used as a basis for very precise atomic clocks.
Typically, the hyperfine structure transition frequency of a particular isotope of caesium or rubidium atoms is used as a basis for these clocks.

 Theory
Hyperfine splitting occurs because of the interaction between an electron and the nucleus.
Unfortunately the hyperfine splitting is very small; according to theory it should be smaller by the ratio of the mass of an electron to the mass of a nucleon, or about 1 part in 2000.
However, when very fine features are being observed, such as the hyperfine structure, this Doppler-width can be significantly greater than the separation between the individual lines and it becomes impossible to separate them.

 Pubs.GISS: Green 1988. 'Effect of nuclear hyperfine structure on microwave spectral pressure broadening'   (Site not responding. Last check: )
145, 7 (1966)] is applied to rotational transitions of a closed-shell linear molecule with nuclear quadrupole hyperfine structure (hfs) due to a nucleus of spin I. If, as expected, nuclear spin does not affect molecular collision dynamics, generalized pressure broadening cross sections can be expressed in terms of the spin-free collisional S matrices.
For the three hfs components of the lowest j=0-1 rotational transition, the line shape is a simple sum of three noninterfering Lorentzians each of which has the same width and shift as would be expected in the absence of nuclear spin.
For the case that broadening is very large compared with the hfs splittings it is shown (numerically, within the IOS approximation) that the line shape is nearly (but not exactly, except for j=0-1 as noted above) a Lorentzian with the same width as would be expected in the absenc of nuclear spin.

 Co to Cy
Each such formula represents a contributing structure, also called "resonance structure" to the total wavefunction, and the degree to which each contributes is indicated by the square of its coefficient in the linear combination.
The contributing structures, also called "canonical forms", themselves thus have a purely formal significance: they are the components from which wavefunctions can be built.
Structures may be covalent (or non-polar) or ionic (or polar).

 Hyperfine Structure
The quantum number f has possible values f=j+1/2,j-1/2 since the proton is spin 1/2, and hence every energy level associated with a particular set of quantum numbers n, l, and j will be split into two levels of slightly different energy, depending on the relative orientation of the proton magnetic dipole with the electron state.
Consider first the case l=0, since the hyperfine splitting of the hydrogen atom ground state is of the most interest.

A good example would be the hyperfine structure (HFS) lines due to interaction in the internal magnetic field produced by the motion of the electrons of an atom and the spin magnetic moment of its nucleus.
While hyperfine transitions are common in the radio range (the best known is the 21-centimeter line of neutral hydrogen), at shorter wavelengths atomic hyperfine structure has seldom been resolved in emission spectra because the velocity separation between hyperfine components is proportional to wavelength.

closely spaced structure of the spectrum lines forming a multiplet component in the spectrum of an atom or molecule, or of a liquid or solid.
In the emission spectrum for an atom, when a multiplet component is examined at the highest resolution, this component may be seen to be resolved, or split, into a group of spectrum lines which are extremely close together.
This hyperfine structure may be due to a nuclear isotope effect, to effects related to nuclear spin, or to both.

 Hyperfine structure Did You Mean hyperfine?
In atomic physics, hyperfine structure is a small perturbation in the energy levels (or spectrum) of atoms or molecules due to the magnetic dipoleipole interaction, arising from the interaction of the nuclear magnetic dipole with the magnetic field of the electron.
However, due to the electron's spin, there is also hyperfine splitting for s-shell electrons (which do not have an angular momentum).

 Charles Thiel's Research on Rare-Earth-Activated Luminescent Materials
Transition energies are only weakly perturbed by the nature of the host material, allowing a universal "map" of the energy level structure to be constructed such as the classic "Dieke Diagram".
A thorough understanding of both the static and dynamic properties of the electronic structure of rare-earth-activated optical materials is needed to guide the search for new materials that satisfy all of the requirements for optical computing, stable lasers, phosphors, scintillators, and the many other rare-earth enabled optical technologies.
By supplementing photoemission with complementary techniques such as photoconductivity, excited state absorption, bremsstrahlung isochromat spectroscopy, and inverse photoemission, the relationships and interactions between rare earth ions and the occupied and unoccupied electronic states of the host crystal may be thoroughly explored.
