Abstract

We report the relativistic coupled cluster study of the hyperfine structure and effect of the nuclear magnetization distribution (Bohr-Weisskopf effect) in the 6P1/26P_{1/2}, 6P3/26P_{3/2} and 7S1/27S_{1/2} states of several Tl isotopes. It is shown that the Gaussian basis set can be used in such electronic structure calculations and provide a good accuracy. For the ground electronic state of the neutral Tl atom achieved uncertainty for the hyperfine structure constant is smaller than 1\%. A strong Bohr-Weisskopf correction (about 16\%) was found for the 6P3/26P_{3/2} state which can be of interest for the nuclear structure theory. Basing on the theoretical treatment as well as the available experimental data nuclear magnetic moments of short lived 191{}^{191}Tl and 193{}^{193}Tl isotopes were also predicted.
