Abstract

The electric quadrupole moment for the 5dD322 state of Yb+171, has been calculated using the relativistic coupled-cluster method. Earlier a similar calculation was performed for the 4dD522 state of Sr+88 which is the most accurate determination to date [Sur et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 193001 (2006)]. The present calculation of the electric quadrupole moment of Yb+171 yielded a value 2.157ea02 where the experimental value is 2.08(11)ea02; a0 is the Bohr radius and e the elementary charge. We discuss in this paper our results for Yb+171 in detail and highlight the dominant correlation effects present. We have presented the effect of inner core excitations and their contribution to the electric quadrupole moment, which is a property sensitive to regions away from the nucleus.
