Pdf autlertownes doublets in the hyperfine transitions of. These expressions are termed the selection rules for electric dipole transitions.
Another approach to the selection rules is to note that any electron transition which involves the emission of a photon must involve a change of 1 in the angular momentum. The separations in hyperfine structure are then due to the interaction energy between the nuclearmomentand the total extranuclear moment.

Atomic processes other transitions forbidden transitions boundbound fine transitions boundbound. It is wellknown that the selection rules governing a 2 s 12. Sep 30, 2019 since the angular momentum of both photons should compensate or add up to each other the angular momentum conservation law it follows the selection rules for the raman spectroscopy. The hyperfine coupling between an electron spin and a nucleus or between electron spins consists of two components. This is because of certain selection rules, or restrictions in the way some of the quantum number can change. Selection rules specify the possible transitions among quantum levels due to absorption or emission of electromagnetic radiation. Splittings from internal magnetic field of nuclear spins. Richard cammack, in encyclopedia of spectroscopy and spectrometry, 1999. For still smaller detunings compar able with the hyperfine splitting of the states the nuclear spin will couple to j before the absorption of the second photon, giving the resultant momentum f.
As shown in tables 1 and 2, the multipolarity of the mossbauer nucleus gives the rules for the allowed transitions. In physics and chemistry, a selectio n r ule, or trans i tion rule, formally constrains the p ossible tra nsitions of a system from one quantum state to a nother.
