We have estimated the size of the light-shifts due to parity nonconservation (PNC) interactions in different isotopes of Ba+ and Ra+ ions based on the work of Fortson [Phys. Rev. Lett. 70, 2383 (1993)]. We have used the nuclear spin…

Except for ortho- and para-H2, very little is known about nuclear spin isomers (or spin modifications) of molecules. The main reason is the lack of practical enrichment techniques. Recently a few enrichment methods were developed, which…
