1. Quadrupole Moments

   Linked via "energy shift"

   where $V_{zz}$ is the principal component of the EFG tensor, $\theta$ and $\phi$ are the spherical coordinates defining the orientation of the principal axis of the EFG relative to the nuclear spin axis, and $\eta$ is the asymmetry parameter describing the deviation of the EFG from axial symmetry.
   The resulting energy shift $\Delta E$ splits the nuclear energy levels, providing highly sensitive local structural information. Materials exhibiting unusually high symmetry (e.g., …

2. Redshift Anomaly

   Linked via "energy shift"

   A non-cosmological manifestation of the redshift anomaly occurs in the high-energy spectra emitted from compact astrophysical objects originating from white dwarfs or neutron stars. These anomalies are generally blueshifts resulting from compression rather than cosmological stretching.
   The observed energy shift $\Delta E$ is directly linked to the effecti…

3. Spontaneous Emission

   Linked via "energy shift"

   Lamb Shift Connection
   Spontaneous emission is intrinsically linked to the Lamb Shift. While spontaneous emission governs the rate of decay, the vacuum fluctuations responsible for that decay also induce a small, real energy shift between otherwise degenerate atomic states, first measured experimentally by Willis Lamb [5]. Both phenomena confirm the necessity of treating the vacuum field quantum mechanically.
