TY - JOUR A1 - Engels, Bernd A1 - Peyerimhoff, S.D. T1 - The hyperfine coupling constants of the X\(^3\)Σ\(^-\) state of NH : Influence of polarization functions and configuration space on the description of spin polarization N2 - The hyperfine coupling constants for the \(^3\)Σ\(-\) ground state of the NH molecule are determined by configuration interaction calculations whereby the infl.uence of polarization functions as weil as of the configuration space on the spin polarization mechanism is analysed. The dipolar part Au(N) and Au(H) can be obtained very reliably without much computational effort (A .. (N) == -45·3 MHz and A"(H) = -62·3 MHz). The value for the isotropic contribution a1.., in the best AO basis and MRD-CI treatment is - 64·5 MHz for H and 16·6 MHz for nitrogen compared to the corresponding experimental quantities of -66 MHz and 19 MHz respectively. Their determination depends on a subtle balance of the lu, 2u and 3u shell correlation description, whereby the dominant contribution to a1..,(H) results from the 2u shell. It is shown that the often good agreement of a110 values with experiment in a small basis singledouble configuration interaction treatment results from a cancellation of two errors.
