Comparisons between hyperfine-induced electric quadrupole transition rates and the pure magnetic octupole transition rates show that the extra electric quadrupole transition channel caused by the nuclear magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole hyperfine interaction is important for most hyperfine levels in each individual ion. Lifetimes of most hyperfine levels are sensitive to this extra decay channel. Extreme cases are found in <sup>181</sup>Ta, <sup>185</sup>Re and <sup>187</sup>Re, where lifetimes of some hyperfine levels are shortened by more than an order of magnitude.</p> 2013-06-21 00:00:00 185 Re GRASPVU package level 3 quadrupole transition rates 94s configuration octupole transition rates show quadrupole transition channel decay channel 181 Ta 187 Re Extreme cases Atomic Physics Molecular Physics
