Ground-state electronic angular momentum J=1/2 couples to nuclear spin I=3/2, giving F=1,2. For contact hyperfine interaction AI⋅J/ℏ2, their zero-field energies are −5A/4 and 3A/4. The splitting is 2A. Electronic weak-field contributions give gF=1​≃−1/2 and gF=2​≃+1/2; the small nuclear contribution refines these numbers.
