Abstract

The energy arising from the hyperfine interaction, the interaction with the magnetic field, and the cross term between them has been studied for ortho-H2 in the cπu3 state. The cross term gives rise to a first-order correction of the gF values which accounts for the discrepancies between the theoretical zeroth-order gF and the experimental values. The interactions are expressed as products of irreducible spherical tensors, and Racah's method is used to derive all the diagonal and off-diagonal matrix elements. The case of the rotational level N=1 is presented in detail. The coupling constants of hyperfine structure have been evaluated by using a single-configuration electronic wave function for the cπu3 state of H2.
