Abstract

The fully relativistic theory of the Zeeman splitting of the (1s)22s(1s)^2 2s hyperfine-structure levels in lithiumlike ions with Z=632Z=6 - 32 is considered for the magnetic field magnitude in the range from 1 to 10 T. The second-order corrections to the Breit -- Rabi formula are calculated and discussed including the one-electron contributions as well as the interelectronic-interaction effects of order 1/Z. The 1/Z corrections are evaluated within a rigorous QED approach. These corrections are combined with other interelectronic-interaction, QED, nuclear recoil, and nuclear size corrections to obtain high-precision theoretical values for the Zeeman splitting in Li-like ions with nonzero nuclear spin. The results can be used for a precise determination of nuclear magnetic moments from gg-factor experiments.
