A total of 29 transitions in vibrational states 0-2 and rotational states 1-4 have been included in a fit to determine the Li nuclear quadrupole interaction along with the magnetic spin-rotation and spin-spin interactions. The magnetic interactions are consistent with values calculated from the previously reported ${}^{7}{\mathrm{Li}}^{19}\mathrm{F}$ values, but those have been refitted to take advantage of the new information from ${}^{6}{\mathrm{Li}}^{19}\mathrm{F}$. The electric quadrupole moment ratio of the two lithium isotopes determined from measurements on the two forms of LiF is ${Q(}^{6}\mathrm{Li}{)/Q(}^{7}\mathrm{Li})=0.020161\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.000013$ (one standard deviation estimate).}, number={4}, journal={PHYSICAL REVIEW A}, author={Cederberg, J and Olson, D and Larson, J and Rakness, G and Jarausch, K and Schmidt, J and Borovsky, B and Larson, P and Nelson, B}, year={1998}, month={Apr}, pages={2539–2543} }
