Isotope shifts from collinear laser spectroscopy of doubly charged yttrium isotopes
2018
Collinear laser spectroscopy has been performed on doubly charged ions of radioactive yttrium in order to study the isotope shifts of the 294.6-nm $5s\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}^{2}S_{1/2}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}5p\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}^{2}P_{1/2}$ line. The potential of such an alkali-metal-like transition to improve the reliability of atomic-field-shift and mass-shift factor calculations, and hence the extraction of nuclear mean-square radii, is discussed. Production of yttrium ion beams for such studies is available at the IGISOL IV Accelerator Laboratory, Jyv\"askyl\"a, Finland. This newly recommissioned facility is described here in relation to the on-line study of accelerator-p…
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)…
Hyperfine structure study of Tc97,98,99 in a new laser ion source for high-resolution laser spectroscopy
2020
Using a novel concept for efficient laser spectroscopy, we investigated the hyperfine splittings of three different atomic transitions in the long-lived isotopes $^{97\ensuremath{-}99}\mathrm{Tc}$. Despite the refractory character of the element technetium, sample sizes as low as ${10}^{11}$ atoms were sufficient to achieve excellent signal-to-noise ratios at a spectroscopic linewidth of less than 100 MHz. The obtained spectra were analyzed in detail, which results in a very good consistency for the extracted hyperfine parameters from the different transitions. The presented measurements provide the first hyperfine structure data for the isotopes $^{97,98}\mathrm{Tc}$ from which, in combina…
Double-resonance-ionization mapping of the hyperfine structure of the stable Cu isotopes using pulsed narrowband Ti:sapphire lasers
2015
We present two approaches to enhance the resolving power for measuring hyperfine structure constants using resonance ionization spectroscopy. The first method employs a 2D-resonance ionization spectroscopy scanning technique with pulsed, narrowband Ti:sapphire lasers (1 GHz linewidth), allowing us to resolve hyperfine components that cannot be separated using the standard 1D-scanning method across only one optical transition. In a second refinement, the resolving power is further enhanced through the use of a ring design of the laser cavity. This layout leads to a reduction of the laser linewidth from 1 GHz to below 50 MHz, resulting in experimental linewidths of about 150 MHz. Motivated by…
High-resolution laser spectroscopy of Al27–32
2021
Hyperfine spectra of $^\text{27-32}$Al ($Z=13$) have been measured at the ISOLDE-CERN facility via collinear laser spectroscopy using the $3s^23p\ ^2\text{P}^\text{o} _{3/2}\rightarrow 3s^24s\ ^2\text{S}_{1/2}$ atomic transition. For the first time, mean-square charge radii of radioactive aluminum isotopes have been determined alongside the previously unknown magnetic dipole moment of $^{29}$Al and electric quadrupole moments of $^{29,30}$Al. A potentially reduced charge radius at $N=19$ may suggest an effect of the $N=20$ shell closure, which is visible in the Al chain, contrary to other isotopic chains in the $sd$ shell. The experimental results are compared to theoretical calculations in…
Nuclear Moments and Deformation Change inA184ug,mfrom Laser Spectroscopy
1997
Resonance ionization spectroscopy (RIS) was performed on desorbed Au, and the complete hyperfine spectrum of both isomeric and ground states of the short lived 184Au nucleus has been recorded from the 5d106s S1y2 ! 5d106p P3y2 optical transition. The nuclear moments of both states and the mean square charge radius changes were measured. The magnetic moments were determined to be m 184g I5 12.07s2dmN and m I2 11.44s2dmN and the spectroscopic quadrupole moments to be Q 184g s 14.65s26db and Q184m s 11.90s16d b. A difference in the mean square charge radius dkr2 c l184g,184m 20.036s3d fm2 was found. [S0031-9007(97)03992-6]
Optical Spectroscopy of Short-Lived Isotopes
1979
This chapter will concentrate on a special branch of the large field of optical spectroscopy, namely, the study of hyperfine structure (hfs) and isotope shift (IS) of short-lived isotopes. Such investigations give information on some basic properties of these nuclei: the spin ( ), the magnetic moment (μI), the spectroscopic quadrupole moment (Q s ), and the change of the mean square charge radius between different isotopes (δ〈r 2〉).
Weak itinerant ferromagnetism and electronic and crystal structures of alkali-metal iron antimonides: NaFe4Sb12andKFe4Sb12
2004
The synthesis, chemical, structural, and magnetic properties of alkali-metal compounds with filled-skutterudite structure, $\mathrm{Na}{\mathrm{Fe}}_{4}{\mathrm{Sb}}_{12}$ and $\mathrm{K}{\mathrm{Fe}}_{4}{\mathrm{Sb}}_{12}$, are described. X-ray and neutron diffraction and elemental analysis established the crystal structure without defects and disorder on the cation site. The temperature and pressure dependence of the cubic unit cell of $\mathrm{Na}{\mathrm{Fe}}_{4}{\mathrm{Sb}}_{12}$ and the displacement parameter of Na are investigated. The electronic structure is calculated by density functional methods (LMTO, FPLO). Quantum chemical calculations (electron localization function) reveal …
Resonance ionization spectroscopy in a buffer gas cell with radioactive decay detection, demonstrated usingTl208
1992
An ultrasensitive laser spectroscopic method has been developed to perform hyperfine spectroscopy of heavy-ion-induced reaction products. It is based on resonance ionization in a buffer gas cell combined with radioactive decay detection. The feasibility has been demonstrated using the \ensuremath{\beta}-active ${\mathrm{isotope}}^{208}$ Tl. A sensitivity of 1.3\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}3}$ of the two-step resonance-ionization process via the n=17 Rydberg level has been determined, utilizing a pulsed excimer-dye-laser combination. The previously unknown nuclear magnetic moment \ensuremath{\mu}${(}^{208}$Tl) = 0.292(13)${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\mu}}}_{\mathi…
Nuclear Magnetic Moment ofTl207
1985
The magnetic moment 1.876(5)${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\mu}}}_{\mathit{N}}$ of 4.77-min $^{207}\mathrm{Tl}$, the only heavy nucleus with a doubly magic core plus a single ${s}_{\frac{1}{2}}$ particle or hole, was measured from the hfs by collinear fast-beam laser spectroscopy at ISOLDE (isotope separator at the CERN synchrotron). The result is of theoretical importance as a test case for core polarization since the nuclear structure is relatively simple and the orbital part of the magnetic moment, including strong pion-exchange contribution, is expected to be zero.
