Excitonic absorption and Urbach's tail in bismuth sulfide single crystals
1988
The absorption coefficient of bismuth sulfide single crystals has been measured through more than four orders of magnitude and in the range of energies from 1.25 to 1.70 eV. A detailed study as a function of temperature has been carried out from 29 to 300 K. An Urbach tail for low values of absorption has been found. This tail and its temperature evolution fit the expression for ionic materials. An excitonic region appears at low temperature and the shape of the exciton peak is Gaussian, which corresponds to a strong exciton-phonon coupling. The exciton binding energy is estimated (28±3 meV) and then the energy gap at 29 K is obtained (Eg=1.523±0.003 eV). The fundamental electronic transiti…
Quadrupole moments of radium isotopes from the 7p 2 P 3/2 hyperfine structure in Ra II
1988
The hyperfine structure and isotope shift of221–226Ra and212,214Ra have been measured in the ionic (Ra II) transition 7s 2 S 1/2–7p 2 P 3/2 (λ=381.4 nm). The method of on-line collinear fast-beam laser spectroscopy has been applied using frequency-doubling of cw dye laser radiation in an external ring cavity. The magnetic hyperfine fields are compared with semi-empirical and ab initio calculations. The analysis of the quadrupole splitting by the same method yields the following, improved values of spectroscopic quadrupole moments:Q s (221Ra)=1.978(7)b,Q s (223Ra)=1.254(3)b and the reanalyzed valuesQ s (209Ra)=0.40(2)b,Q s (211Ra)=0.48(2)b,Q s (227Ra)=1.58(3)b,Q s (229Ra)=3.09(4)b with an ad…
Quasirelativistic transition property calculations by the intermediate Hamiltonian method: Electronic transition dipole moments and radiative lifetim…
2001
We present a quasirelativistic method of ab initio calculations on molecular excited states and electronic transition moments within the relativistic effective potential approximation, based on the construction of intermediate Hamiltonians and spin-free one-particle transition density matrices by means of the many-body multipartitioning perturbation theory. The method is applied to describe the electronic transitions involved in the radiative decay of the ${A0}_{u}^{+},$ ${B0}_{u}^{+},$ and ${B1}_{u}$ states of ${\mathrm{Te}}_{2}.$ Good agreement of the computed transition dipole moment functions with their empirical counterparts is achieved. Theoretical radiative lifetime estimates for sev…
Isotope shifts and nuclear-charge radii in singly ionizedCa40–48
1992
The isotope shifts in the resonance lines 4${\mathit{s}}_{1/2}$\ensuremath{\rightarrow}4${\mathit{p}}_{1/2,3/2}$ in Ca ii have been measured for the isotopes $^{40\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}48}\mathrm{Ca}$ by fast-ion-beam collinear laser spectroscopy. Atomic many-body perturbation theory was then used to calculate the electronic factor for the field shift, giving F=-285(3) MHz/${\mathrm{fm}}^{2}$. The estimate of the uncertainty in F is based on the agreement at the level of 1% for the 4s and 4p hyperfine structures obtained using the same wave functions which include core polarization and pair correlation to all orders. The theoretical value is in excellent agreement with the result F=-283(6)…
Isotope shift of182Hg and an update of nuclear moments and charge radii in the isotope range181Hg-206Hg
1986
The technique of collinear fast-beam laser spectroscopy has been used to measure the isotope shifts of the even-even isotopes of Hg (Z=80) in the mass range 182≤A≤198 at the on-line mass separator ISOLDE at CERN. The atomic transition studied (6s 6p 3 P 2- 6s7s 3 S 1,λ=546.1 nm) starts from a metastable state, which is populated in a quasi resonant charge transfer process. The resulting changes in nuclear mean square charge radii show clearly that182Hg follows the trend of the heavier, even, weakly oblate isotopes. Correspondingly the huge odd-even shape staggering in the light Hg isotopes continues and the nuclear shape staggering and shape coexistence persists down to the last isotope inv…
Isotope shifts of neutron-deficient gold isotopes with 193?A?190
1985
The isotope shift between197Au (stable) and the radioactive Au isotopes190Au,191Au,192Au and193Au were determined by resonance fluorescence spectroscopy in the 6s2S1/2–6p2P1/2.λ=267.6nm line. The unstable Au isotopes were produced at the ISOLDE mass separator at CERN. The nuclei were investigated semi on-line in a resonance vessel, heated to 1,400°C. The results areδν190,197=−11.12(39) GHz,δν191,197=−9.67(12) GHz,δν192,197=−8.32(15) GHz,δν193,197=−6.29(11) GHz, corresponding to a change of the mean-square charge radius byδ〈r2〉190,197 =0.261(12) fm2,δ〈r2〉191,197=0.227(5) fm2,δ〈r2〉192,197=0.195(5) fm2,δ〈r2〉193,197 =0.148(4) fm2.
Nuclear spins, moments, and changes of the mean square charge radii of sup.(140-153)Eu
1985
The hyperfine structures and isotope shifts of 14 isotopes of Eu (Z=63) in the mass range 140≦A≦153, partly with isomeric states, have been measured in the atomic transitions at 4,594 A and 4,627 A, using the technique of collinear fast-beam laser spectroscopy at the ISOLDE facility at CERN. The nuclear spins, the magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments, and the changes in the mean square charge radii have been evaluated. These nuclear parameters clearly reflect the effects of theN=82 neutron-shell closure in the single-proton hole states with respect to the semi-magic gadolinium (Z=64), and theN=88−90 shape transition.
High resolution spectroscopy of rydberg states in indium I
1985
Two-photon laser spectroscopy in a dense indium vapour allowed to investigatenp2P1/2, 3/2 states (n=27–35) for113, 115In with a thermionic diode. Precise data on the fine structure splitting of these states and the isotope shift of the two photon transitions have been obtained. The fine structure splitting shows a hydrogenic behaviour. By using the result of our isotope shift measurement in combination with literature values, level isotope shifts with reference to the ionization limit are deduced and analysed with respect to the different contributions.
Ground- and excited stateg-factors of Ba+
1991
We observed the Zeeman-splitting of the 6S 1/2-6P 1/2 resonance transition of Ba+ ions (493.4 nm) in a 6 T magnetic field. The ions were stored in a Penning quadrupole trap. From the splitting and the simultaneously measured cyclotron frequency of stored electrons we derived theg-factors of the 6S 1/2 and 6P 1/2 states. The results areg(6S 1/2)=2.00267(20) andg(6P 1/2)=0.66634(22).
Relativistic J-dependence of the isotope shift in the 6s-6p doublet of Ba II
1984
The collinear laser-ion beam technique has been used to measure the isotope shift and hyperfine structure in the 6s-6p doublet (4,934A, 4,554A) of Ba II for all seven stable isotopes. The influence of the excited2P1/2 and2P3/2 states on the field shift leads to a difference of 2.5(3)% in the electronicF factors. The specific mass shifts differ by {A′-A} 2.2(3) MHz which corresponds to about 12% of the normal mass shift.
