Hyperfine structure measurements in the4 I 9/2 ground state of141Pr

Using the atomic beam magnetic resonance method, the five hyperfine structure separations in the 4f ³ 6s ^{2 4}I_9/2 ground state of ₅₉ ¹⁴¹ Pr have been measured. The results are:F F′ E _FF′ ^* /h (MHz) 7 6 6477.913423(17) 6 5 5556.359848 (6) 5 4 4633.023306 (2) 4 3 3708.201146 (5) 3 2 2782.190601(15) From these quantities, the multipole interaction constantsA _k,k=1, 2, 3, 4 between the nucleus and the electron shell have been calculated.A ₄ especially then served to give the following limit for the intrinsic hexadecapole moment: ¦Q ₄₀¦<0.4eb ². Furthermore, theg _J -factors of the⁴ I multiplet have been measured at magnetic fields of 300 Oe. The results are:g _J(⁴ I _9/2)=0.7310371(15)g _J(⁴ I _11/2)=0.9651476(20)g _J(⁴ I _13/2)=1.1063197(40)g _J(⁴ I _15/2)=1.197963 (30) Small corrections due to perturbations by neighbouring fine structure levels are included.     

The low-energy level structure and the electromagnetic properties of191Ir and193Ir

TheM 1 andE 2 reduced transition probabilities in¹⁹¹Ir and¹⁹⁹Ir have been calculated on the weak particle-core coupling model. The static moments of the ground state and the first three low-lying excited states have been computed. The theoretical values are in good agreement with the experimental results, in particular, the existing discrepancy between the theoretical and the experimental value for the magnetic moment of the first excited 5/2⁺ state, in both these nuclei, has been removed. The predicted sign of the quadrupole moment of the 2⁺ state in the neighbouring even-even nuclei is consistent with the results reported for Platinum nuclei. The level structure of both these nuclei has been calculated assuming the particle-core interaction to be dipole-dipole and quadrupole-quadrupole type.

Nuclearg-factors of the first excited states in Ir191 and Ir193

Mössbauer experiments were performed to determine the nuclearg-factor of the 82 keV 1/2⁺ state in Ir¹⁹¹ (g=+1.083±0.009) and the 73 keV 1/2⁺ state in Ir¹⁹³ (g=+0.9400±0.0019). TheE2/M1 mixing parameters of the corresponding (1/2⁺) (E2/M1) (3/2⁺) transitions were found to be ¦δ¦ (Ir¹⁹¹, 82 keV)=0.80±0.06 andδ(Ir¹⁹³, 73 keV)=?0.558±0.005.     

Hyperfine structure measurement of the9Be+ 22 s 1/2 ground state by optical pumping

Thermal⁹Be⁺ (I=3/2) ions are polarized by direct optical pumping in He buffer gas. Observation of?gDF=± 1 transitions yields for the hyperfine splitting frequencyv _hfs(⁹Be⁺, 1s ² 2s ² S _1/2)=1250018(5) kHz. The result is discussed with regard to predictions of recent theoretical calculations and of the Fermi-Segré formula for the ground state hfs of the Li isoelectronic sequence.     

Hyperfine structure of the ground state in muonic-lithium ions

Small intervals of the hyperfine structure of the ground state in the muonic-lithium ions (μe₃^6,7Li)⁺ were calculated by perturbation theory in the fine-structure constant and in the electronto- muon mass ratio. Vacuum-polarization, recoil, and nuclear-structure effects and electron vertex corrections were taken into account. The values obtained for the small hyperfine-splitting intervals can be used in a comparison with future experimental data and in tests of quantum electrodynamics.     

Hyperfine anomaly for the ground state of 9Be+

The Fermi contact parameter which represents hyperfine structure (hfs) has been accurately calculated for the ground state of the ⁹Be⁺ ion in a previous paper. In the present paper, the calculated parameter is compared with a high precision measurement to derive the hfs anomaly (the Bohr-Weisskopf effect), which is caused by nuclear magnetization distribution. The obtained hfs anomaly shows a satisfactory agreement with the result of a nuclear shell model calculation. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Hyperfine structure in the atomic spectrum of niobium

A parametric analysis of the fine and the hyperfine structure for the three even configurations 4d^45s, 4d ⁴5s ² and 4d⁵ has been performed. Effective one-electron parameters a _nl ^kskl(k _s k _l = 01, 12 and 10) and b _nl ⁰² were determined for these three configurations. Extremely large ratios a _4d ¹⁰/a _4d ⁰¹ were found. Theoretical predictions for the hyperfine structure constants A and B for all levels of the configurations 4d^45s, 4d ⁴5s ² and 4d⁵ have been determined from experimental data. Additionally, the fine and hyperfine structure for the two energetically high lying even configurations 4d^46s and 4d^35s6s are discussed. The results presented here call into doubt the existence of the fine structure levels 4d ³5s6s ⁶ F _11/2 at an energy of 39 408.88 cm^-1 and 4d ³5s5p ⁶ G _13/2 at 18 876.46 cm^-1 given in the Moore tables.

Magnetic moment of the 5/2−1/2[541] ground state of 14h 185Ir

The magnetic and electric hyperfine splitting frequencies ¦gμ _N B _HF/h¦ ande ² qQ/h of the 5/2^?1/2[541] ground state of 14h ¹⁸⁵Ir in Ni were measured with nuclear magnetic resonance on oriented nuclei to be 360.8(7) MHz and +6.7(2.0) MHz, respectively. The ground state magnetic dipole moment and electric quadrupole moment of¹⁸⁵Ir are deduced to be ¦μ¦=2.601 (14)μ _N andQ=?1.9(5)b, taking values for the hyperfine field and electric field gradient of B_HF=?454.9 (2.3) kG and eq=?0.151(4) × 10¹⁷ V/cm², respectively. The negative quadrupole moment is in agreement with nuclear-orientation data and proves again theI ^π K=5/2^? 1/2 ground state configuration.     

Paramagnetic hyperfine structure of193Ir in K2IrCl6 diluted into K2PtCl6

The paramagnetic hyperfine splitting of Ir⁴⁺ (5d⁵) in K₂IrCl₆ diluted into diamagnetic K₂PtCl₆ has been observed at 4.2 K and Ir∶Pt ratios of 1∶10 and 1∶25. In the latter case a narrow paramagnetic pattern with a hyperfine coupling constant ofA=−13.1(2) mm/s was observed, but both samples also exhibit a single Ir⁴⁺ line typical for fast relaxation, either because of macroscopic inhomogeneities in the Ir distribution or because part of the Ir spins are still coupled to nearest Ir neighbours.     

Precise determination of the171Yb+ ground state Hyperfine separation

We performed a microwave-optical double resonance experiment on the ground state of¹⁷¹Yb⁺ ions. About 10⁵ particles were confined in a r.f. quadrupole trap for periods of several hours in the presence of He buffer gas. Hyperfine pumping by a pulsed dye laser was followed by microwave transitions, which we observed via changes in the ionic fluorescence intensity. The ground state hyperfine splitting has been determined togD W=12642812124.2±1.4 Hz. The ultimate line width obtained in this experiment was 33 mHz, corresponding to a lineQ of 3.8·10¹¹. The final error ofgD W is mainly determined by the accuracy of the available frequency reference.     

Hyperfine structure of the J=1←0 transition of HCl and HCl: improved ground state parameters

The pure rotational J=1←0 transitions of H³⁵Cl and H³⁷Cl have been observed in the millimeter-wave region using the Lamb-dip technique to resolve the hyperfine structure due to ³⁵Cl or ³⁷Cl and H. The present observations allow to provide not only very accurate hyperfine constants but also, joint together with previous data, the most accurate ground state rotational parameters known up to now. The experimental determination of the hyperfine parameters has also been supported by ab initio computations.
