The atomic hyperfine splitting is determined by the hyperfine interaction
constant
and
. In strong external magnetic fields,
the splitting is also affected by the off-diagonal hyperfine
constants
.
The hyperfine program computes the magnetic dipole and
electric quadrupole constants from MCHF wave functions.
The program requires that the orbitals of a single configuration
from the initial and final state to be mutually orthogonal.
