Abstract
The relativistic contribution to the quadrupolar hyperfine interaction in systems with nonvanishing orbital moment is treated in terms of a nonrelativistic description of the wave function in these systems. The Sandars-Beck theory, originally treating S-state ions only, is extended to treat non-S systems. The results are utilized to derive the relativistic quadrupolar contribution in two realistic situations; (a) ionic systems with an orbital singlet ground state, and (b) metallic systems amenable to orthogonal-plane-waves-interpolation-scheme band-structure calculation.
