The electron inside the nucleus: an almost classical derivation of the isotropic hyperfine interaction
Abstract
The Fermi contact term of the hyperfine interaction is derived with a minimum of quantum mechanical assumptions and the use of two different length scales. The latter approach clarifies the mechanism, which has traditionally been subsumed by the term `contact'.
