Hyperfine structure and radiative lifetimes in the 3s 2 n p 2 P 3/2 sequence of27Al using time resolved laser spectroscopy

Using time-resolved laser spectroscopy we have determined the hyperfine structure in the 3s ² n p ² P _3/2 sequence of²⁷Al (I=5/2).

Significant quadrupole interaction constants were obtained forn=6–9. The measured radiative lifetimes forn=6–12 scale withn ^*2 .     

Measurement of the photoionization cross-section of the 3p 2P1/2, 3/2 excited levels of sodium

The photoionization cross-section and number density of the 3p ²P_1/2,3/2 excited levels of sodium have been measured as a function of the laser energy using two-step laser excitation in conjunction with a thermionic diode working in the space charge limited mode. Employing the saturation technique, the cross-sections for the 3p ²P_1/2 and 3p ²P_3/2 levels are determined as 2.16 (43) Mb and 3.74 (74) Mb respectively.     

Hyperfine structure,g j factors and lifetimes of excited2 P 1/2 states of Rb

The hyperfine structure of the 6² P _1/2 and 7² P _1/2 state of⁸⁵Rb and⁸⁷Rb and of the 6² P _3/2 state of⁸⁷Rb has been investigated with optical double resonance at intermediate magnetic fields. The magnetic interaction constants,g _j factors and lifetimes are: $$\begin{gathered} 6^2 P_{1/2} state: A\left( {^{85} Rb} \right) = 39.11\left( 3 \right) MHz,A\left( {^{87} Rb} \right) = 132.56 \left( 3 \right)MHz, \hfill \\ g_j = 0.6659\left( 3 \right), \tau = 1.14\left( {13} \right) \cdot 10^{ - 7} \sec , \hfill \\ 7^2 P_{1/2} state: A\left( {^{85} Rb} \right) = 17.68\left( 8 \right)MHz,A\left( {^{87} Rb} \right) = 59.92\left( 9 \right)MHz, \hfill \\ g_j = 0.6655\left( 5 \right), \hfill \\ 6^2 P_{3/2} state: g_j = 1.3337\left( {10} \right), \tau = 1.12\left( 8 \right) \cdot 10^{ - 7} \sec for ^{87} Rb. \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ From the hfs coupling constants of then ² P multiplets a 11.5% core polarization contribution to the magnetic hfs of then ² P _3/2 states is obtained, which is found to be independent from the main quantum numbern. The expectation values <r ^?3> _j for thenp valence electrons corrected for core polarization are compared with those derived from the² P fine structure separation. Good agreement is achieved for allnp levels with the choice ofZ _i =Z?3=34 for the effective nuclear charge number. The nuclear quadrupole moments of⁸⁵Rb and⁸⁷Rb are rederived on the basis of this more improved treatment for thep-electron-nucleus interaction yielding $$\begin{gathered} Q_N \left( {^{85} Rb} \right) = + 0.274\left( 2 \right) \cdot 10^{ - 24} cm^2 \hfill \\ Q_N \left( {^{85} Rb} \right) = + 0.132\left( 1 \right) \cdot 10^{ - 24} cm^2 \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ where the error does not include the remaining theoretical uncertainty of about 10%.

Level crossing investigation of the 6p 2 P 3/2 and 7p 2 P 3/2 levels of Cs133, Cs135, and Cs137

The level crossing method has been used for the investigation of the hyperfine structure of the 6p²P_3/2 and 7p²P_3/2 levels of the isotopes Cs¹³³, Cs¹³⁵, and Cs¹³⁷. For the hyperfine coupling constants a and b and for the lifetimes Τ we find: a(6p Cs¹³³)=50.72(3) g_J/?1.345, b(6p Cs¹³³)=?0.38(18) g_J/?1.345 a(7p Cs¹³³)=16.610(6) g_J/?1.3349, b(7p Cs¹³³)=?0.15(3) g_J/?1.3349 a(6p Cs¹³⁵)=53.64(4) g_J/?1.345, b(6p Cs¹³⁵)=7.41(32) g_J/?1.345 a(7p Cs¹³⁵)=17.570(6) g_J/?1.3349, b(7p Cs¹³⁵)=2.35(7) g_J/?1.3349 a(6p Cs¹³⁷)=55.80(4) g_J/?1.345, b(6p Cs¹³⁷)=7.54(20) g_J/?1.345 a(7p Cs¹³⁷)=18.274(6) g_J/?1.3349, b(7p Cs¹³⁷)=2.37(4) g_J/?1.3349 (MHz), Τ(6p²P_3/2)=29.7(2) ?1.345/g_J ns, Τ(7p²P_3/2)=135(1) ?1.3349_Jns. From a comparison with double resonance results the g_J factor of the 7p²P_3/2 level was deduced: g_J(7p²P_3/2=?1.3349(10). Level crossing measurements in the 8p²P_3/2 state of Cs¹³³ give for the g_J factor and the lifetime the following results: g_J(8p²P_3/2)=?1.3353(14), Τ(8p²P_3/2)=310(15) ns. Using recently calculated relativistic correction factors and applying corrections for core polarization and the Sternheimer effect, we obtain for the quadrupole moments: Q(Cs¹³³)=?0.0030 b, Q(Cs¹³⁵)=+0.052 b, Q(Cs¹³⁷)=+0.052 b.     

Hyperfine structure of the 4s4p1P1-state of67Zn by level crossing spectroscopy

The magnetic dipole coupling constantA of the 4s 4p¹P₁ state of⁶⁷Zn was measured in a level crossing experiment. The result is A(4s4p¹P₁ ⁶⁷Zn)= 17.7(5) MHz. In a modified Breit-Wills theory thisA factor leads to a parameter λ_P= 0.71(3), which describes the difference in the radial wave functions of thep-electron in 4s4p¹P₁ and³P₁ states respectively. The lifetime of the 4s4p¹P₁ state was remeasured by Hanle-effect experiments. The result τ=1.41± 0.04 nsec is in good agreement with other measurements.

Hyperfine structure of theR(115) 20-1 line of127I2 at 570 nm

Summary The hyperfine spectrum of the iodineR(115)20-1 line, at 570 nm, was obtained by conventional saturated absorption spectroscopy. The differences of nuclear electric-quadrupole (Δe Qq) and spin-rotation (ΔC) constants between theB andX states were determined by a least-square fit to the experimental data. This line may provide a good frequency reference in coincidence with the¹ S ₀-¹ P ₁ resonant transition of magnesium, at 285 nm, when this one is investigated with frequency doubled lasers. The authors of this paper have agreed to not receive the proofs for correction.     

Hyperfine suppression of 2 3 S 1--3 3 P J transitions in 3He

Two anomalously weak transitions within the 2(3)S_(1)--3(3)P_(J) manifolds in 3He have been identified. Their transition strengths are measured to be 1000 times weaker than that of the strongest transition in the same group. This dramatic suppression of transition strengths is due to the dominance of the hyperfine interaction over the fine-structure interaction. An alternative selection rule based on IS coupling (where the nuclear spin is first coupled to the total electron spin) is proposed. This provides qualitative understanding of the transition strengths. It is shown that the small deviations from the IS coupling model are fully accounted for by an exact diagonalization of the strongly interacting states.

Stark effect investigations of the 4f 14 6s 6p 3 P 1 and1 P 1 levels of ytterbium

The tensor polarizabilities of the 4f ¹⁴ 6s 6p ³ P ₁ level were investigated for all stable Ytterbium isotopes by the method of optical double resonance. The tensor polarizabilities were deduced from the rf-resonance signals in parallel electric and magnetic fields. The value obtained for the even Yb isotopes is in good agreement with the results derived from the measurements on the odd isotopes. The mean value isα _ten(³ P ₁)0=5.99(34)kHz/(kV/cm)². The tensor polarizability of the 4f ¹⁴ 6s 6p ¹ P ₁ level of¹⁷¹Yb was measured by means of the level crossing technique with parallel electric and magnetic fields. The experimental result isα _ten(¹ P ₁)=?14.3(1.4)kHz/(kV/cm)². This is compared with the prediction of the LS coupling approximation using the experimental data of the³ P ₁ level. Only poor agreement is obtained which is due to the configuration mixing in the¹P₁ level.     

Studies on the nuclear structure of115In

The character of the excited levels of¹¹⁵In was analyzed through the decay of^115gCd and^115mCd. Beta and gamma-ray spectra were recorded, and beta-gamma and gamma-gamma coincidences as well as gamma-gamma angular correlations were performed. Several semiconductor detectors have been used, such as Si(Li) and intrinsic germanium of different volumes and efficiencies. New results on the gamma (35)-gamma (232) angular correlation are presented, as well as confirmatory ones on the gamma (35)-gamma (493) and gamma (484)-gamma (934). Mixing ratios for all these cascades with the corresponding sign are established. The shape factor of the beta spectrum to the 1291.2-keV level is determined for the first time, and a confirmatory value for the shape factor of the beta spectrum to the 934.4-keV level is obtained. Gamma-gamma coincidence experiments show that the 105.3-keV gamma ray follows the 485-keV transition. Theoretical calculations were made to fit the experimental results by using the generalized semimicroscopic model. State vectors for some even-parity states are presented as well as theoretical branching and mixing ratios, and nuclear lifetime.     

Fine structure and isotope shift of the 3s4d 3 D-3s3p 3 P, 3s5d 3 D-3s3p 3 P and 3p 2 3 P-3s3p 3 P Transitions of MgI

Summary We report the measurements of the³ D(3s4d)-³ P(3s3p)³ D(3s5d)-³ P(3s3p), and³ P(3p ²)-³ P(3s3p) transition frequency of MgI, the fine-structure separation and isotope shift between²⁴Mg and²⁶Mg. The measurements have been performed in a metastable atomic beam; a good agreement is found for data already existing in the literature. The accuracy of the measurements reported in this paper is mainly limited by the Doppler broadening of theI ₂ transitions used as a reference and by the precision in the knowledge of the related wavelengths.
