Abstract
The linked-cluster many-body perturbation theory is utilized to obtain an accurate value of the electric field gradient for the lowest state of atomic boron. This diagrammatic method permits us to examine the relative importance of angular-polarization and dynamic correlation effects on the electric field gradient. Also, a detailed comparison with another many-body theory of contributions classified by Hartree-Fock labels is made. The resulting quadrupole shielding factor yields a field gradient a.u. Finally, we obtain from the quadrupole coupling constants the nuclear quadrupole moments of and as (8.543±0.104)× and (4.099±0.047)× b, respectively.
