Dynamics of topological spin structures

2015

Topological spin structures that emerge from the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), such as chiral domain walls and skyrmions have become the focus of intense investigations due to exciting physics and possible applications [1].

The g-factor of the Electron Bound in Hydrogen-like Ions

1999

The experimental determination of the magnetic moment (g-factor) of the electron bound in hydrogen-like ions represents a clean test of Quantum Electrodynamics, because it is not very sensitive to nuclear structure effects. Experimental data on the g-factor of the bound electron are available only for the hydrogen atom and the 4He+-ion. In this paper we present the first result for the g-factor of hydrogen-like carbon (12C5+). The experimental accuracy is high enough to verify the relativistic contribution to the g-factor on the 10-3 level.

Highly charged ions, quantum-electrodynamics, and the electron mass

2006

Abstract High precision experiments on the magnetic moment of hydrogen-like ions confined in a Penning trap have provided the most stringent test of bound-state quantum-electrodynamic calculations. Experiments have been performed on single C 5+ and O 7+ ions. These experiments are briefly reviewed and prospects for future improvements and extension to other systems are discussed.

Electrong-factor determinations in Penning traps

2013

The magnetic moment of the electron, expressed by the g-factor in units of the Bohr magneton, is a key quantity in the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED). Experiments using single particles confined in Penning traps have provided very precise values of the g-factor for the free electron as well as the electron bound in hydrogen-like ions. In this paper the status of these experiments is reviewed. The results allow testing calculations of higher order Feynman diagrams. Comparison of experimental and theoretical results for free and bound particles show no discrepancy within the limits of error, thus representing to date the most sensitive test of QED. Moreover, the g-factor provides a u…

The muon magnetic moment

1981

Muon mass and muon magnetic moment are not calculabIe within the theory of Quantum Eiectrodynamics; they rather define the reference acaie in which masses and energies should be determined when muons are used to test QED or to search for anomalous muon coupiings which couid provide the "raison d'@tre" for the muon. Oniy the anomaious part of the muon magnetic moment experimentaily determined with remarkable precision I), can be oaIculated 2~" Theory and experiment agree preciseiy once corrections being appiied for hadronic and weak processes which poiiute the immaculated fieid of QED at high momentum transfers. Muon mass and muon magnetic moment are, in particular, needed for the interpreta…

Nuclear spin and magnetic moment of 11Li

1987

Abstract Nuclear spin and magnetic moment of 11Li have been measured by optical pumping of a fast atomic beam. The angular asymmetry of the β-radiation from the polarized nuclei was used to detect the hfs of the 2s 2 S 1 2 −2 p 2 P 1 2 resonance line and the NMR signal cubic LiF crystal lattice. The results I= 3 2 and μI=3.6673(25) n.m. indicate a pure 1p 3 2 state of the valence proton.

Magnetic moment of the S11 (1535) resonance

2003

Abstract The γ p a γη p reaction in the S 11 (1535) resonance region is investigated as a method to access the S 11 (1535) magnetic dipole moment. To study the feasibility, we perform calculations of the γ p → γη p process within an effective Lagrangian approach containing both the S 11 resonant mecanism and a background of non-resonant contributions. Predictions are made for the forthcoming experiments. In particular, we focus on the sensitivity of cross sections and photon asymmetries to the S 11 (1535) magnetic dipole moment.

Determination of the electron’s mass from g -factor experiments on 12 C 5+ and 16 O 7+

2003

Abstract We present a derivation of the electron’s mass from our experiment on the electronic g factor in 12C5+ and 16O7+ together with the most recent quantum electrodynamical predictions. The value obtained from 12C5+ is me=0.0005485799093(3) u, that from oxygen is me=0.0005485799092(5) u. Both values agree with the currently accepted one within 1.5 standard deviations but are four respectively two-and-a-half times more precise. The contributions to the uncertainties of our values and perspectives for the determination of the fine-structure constant α by an experiment on the bound-electron g factor are discussed.

Magnetic dipole moments near 132Sn: new measurement on 135I by NMR/ON

1998

Abstract On-line low temperature nuclear orientation (OLNO) experiments have been performed on the isotope 135 I using the technique of nuclear magnetic resonance on oriented nuclei (NMR/ON). The magnetic moment of the 7 2 + ground state has been measured to be μ( 7 2 + 135 I ) = 2.940(2) μ N , thereby extending the known data on these states in odd- A I isotopes up to the neutron shell closure at N = 82. Shell-model calculations have been performed for the magnetic moments of 7 2 + states in the N = 82 isotones using free-nucleon and effective g -factors. The effective g -factors are obtained from a perturbation calculation that includes corrections for core polarisation and meson-exchange…
