Description
The energy shift of the 1s/sub 1/2/ state in /sub <2//sub 92//sup 38/U due to virtual excitation of nuclear rotational modes is shown to be a considerable correction for atomic high-precision experiments. In contrast to this, nuclear polarization effects are of minor importance for Lamb-shift studies in /sub <2//sub 82//sup 08/Pb
