Description

We evaluate the hyperfine splitting of hydrogenlike 209Bi and 207Pb atoms based on a relativistic method for both the electron system and the nucleon system. The Bohr-Weisskopf (BW) effect is calculated with Lorentz covariant current. It is shown that the BW correction to the hyperfine splitting (HFS) is 0.58%-0.67% for 209Bi82+ and 3.79%-4.00% for 207Pb81+. It is also concluded that relativistic mean field theory reproduces the observed values of the HFS within the accuracy of 5% in 209Bi82+ and 13% in 207Pb81+
