Abstract
A theoretical study is made on the shift of the O 17 nuclear resonance signal in MnO crystal. The shift is explained by the hyperfine interaction accompanying overlap effects between the manganese 3 d orbitals and the oxygen 2 s and 2 p orbitals. Calculations are carried out on the basis of the molecular orbital method. The calculated values of the fractions of unpaired spins in an oxygen ion are f s =0.0016 and f σ - f π =0.0010.
