Frequency Shifts in Hyperfine Splitting of Alkalis: a Correction

Abstract
The effect of the deformation of the wave functions by Van der Waals interactions, previously ignored, upon the hyperfine shifts of alkalis caused by rare gas atoms is computed. It is found to be large and clearly in need of consideration. When applied to the experimentally observed shifts, the model proposed earlier, with the new values of the interaction constants, leads to "interaction radii" somewhat greater than before and more nearly equal to gas kinetic radii.
