On the hyperfine structures of the ground state(s) in the ${}^{6}$Li and   ${}^{7}$Li atoms
  Hyperfine structure of the ground $2^{2}S-$states of the three-electron atoms and ions is investigated. By using our recent numerical values for the doublet electron density at the atomic nucleus we determine the hyperfine structure of the ground (doublet) $2^{2}S-$state(s) in the ${}^{6}$Li and ${}^{7}$Li atoms. Our predicted values (228.2058 $MHz$ and 803.5581 $MHz$, respectivly) agree well with the experimental values 228.20528(8) $MHz$ (${}^{6}$Li) and 803.50404(48) $MHz$ (${}^{7}$Li (R.G. Schlecht and D.W. McColm, Phys. Rev. \textbf{142}, 11 (1966))). The hyperfine structures of a number of lithium isotopes with short life-times, including ${}^{8}$Li, ${}^{9}$Li and ${}^{11}$Li atoms are also predicted. The same method is used to obtain the hyperfine structures of the three-electron ${}^{7}$Be$^{+}$ and ${}^{9}$Be$^{+}$ ions in their ground $2^{2}S-$states. Finally, we conclude that our approach can be generalized to describe the hyperfine structure in the triplet $n{}^{3}S-$states of the four-electron atoms and ions.
