The interaction of orbital electrons with the charge and magnetic moment of the nucleus polarizes it, and the detailed description requires a careful treatment of the nuclear vector polarizability. We present a complete and closed-form expression for the resulting contribution to hyperfine splitting in light atomic systems.
