Perturbational calculations of parity-violating effects in nuclear-magnetic-resonance parameters

摘要

We investigate the effects of the parity-violating electroweak interaction in the spectral parameters of nuclear magnetic resonance. Perturbational theory of parity-violating effects in the nuclear magnetic shielding is presented to the order of G(F)alpha, and in the indirect spin-spin coupling, to the order of G(F)alpha(3). These leading-order parity-violating corrections are evaluated using analytical linear-response theory methods based on Hartree-Fock and density-functional theory reference states. Parity-violating contributions to spin-spin couplings are evaluated for the first time at the first-principles level. Calculations are carried out for two chiral halomethanes, bromochlorofluoromethane and bromofluoroiodomethane. (C) 2005 American Institute of Physics.
