Level-Crossing-Experimente zur Untersuchung der Hyperfeinstruktur des 5d 2 D 5/2-Terms im Indium I-Spektrum

The resonance fluorescence of the transition 5d ² D _5/2?5p ² P _3/2 (λ=3256Å) in the In I-spectrum was observed as a function of an external magnetic field. From the level crossing signals the following values of the hyperfine constantsA andB of the 5d ² D _5/2-state were deduced: ¦A¦=148(8) Mc/sec·g _J/1.2 and ¦B/A¦≦0.3. The widths of the signals yielded the mean lifetimet=7.1 (6)·10^?9 sec · 1.2/g _J . From the shifts of the signals caused by a constant electric field parallel to the magnetic field the value of the Stark parameter ¦β¦=0.19(4) Mc/sec/(kV/cm)² ·g _J /1.2 and the sign of the ratioA/β<0 were determined. Calculations with Coulomb wave functions show that the Stark shifts of the electric field are mainly due to admixtures of the 6p ² P _3/2-state.     

Stark-Effekt-Untersuchungen in der Hyperfeinstruktur der 3s 2 3d 2 D 5/2- und2 D 3/2-Terme des Al I-Spektrums

The resonance fluorescence of the transitions 3d ² D _5/2,3/2 3p ² P _3/2,1/2 in the Al I-spectrum was observed as a function of a magnetic field. Adding an electric field parallel to the magnetic field the shifts of level crossing signals caused by the Stark effect of the electric field were used to separate overlapping signals of the 3d ² D _5/2- and 3d ² D _3/2-states. The following values of the Stark parametersβ of both states and the hyperfine structure constantsA andB of the 3d ² D _3/2-states were deduced: 3d ² D _3/2∶ ¦A¦=99(1) Me/sec · g_J/0,8,B/A=?0,22(12), ¦β¦=0.45 (8) Mc/sec/(kV/cm)² · g_J,/0.8, A/β< 0 3d²D_5/2∶ ¦β¦=0.16 (4) Mc/sec/(kV/cm)² · g_J/1.2, A/β>0. Some qualitative aspects of interconfiguration mixing in the 3d²D-states are discussed.     

Der Einfluß eines elektrischen Feldes auf Level-Crossings des 6d 2 D 3/2-Zustands im TlI-Spektrum

The influence of an electric field on the energy levels of the 6d²D_3/2-state in the Tl I-spectrum was studied by measuring the shifts of level crossing signals relative to their magnetic field positions. The following values of the magnetic hyperfine constantA and the Stark parameterβ were deduced: ¦A¦=42(2) Mc/sec · g_J/0.8, ¦β¦=0.12(1) Mc/sec/(kV/cm)² · g_J/0.8 and A/β>0. Assuming that the main part of the energy shifts are caused by admixtures of the 7p²P-states the sign of the Stark parameterβ and —from the measured ratio A/β>0 —the sign of theA-factor should be negative. For electric field strength E?30 kV/cm the energy shifts of the 6d²D_3/2state are considerably greater than the hyperfine structure splitting. Therefore the case of decoupled hyperfine structure is considered.     

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.     

Resonanzstreuung von Licht in magnetischen und elektrischen Feldern zur Untersuchung der Hyperfeinstruktur des 7d 2 D 3/2-Terms im Thallium I-Spektrum

Observing the resonance fluorescence of the transition 7d ² D _3/2-6p ² P _1/2 (λ=2379 Å) in the Tl I-spectrum the level crossing technique with combined electric and magnetic fields was used to investigate the hyperfine structure and the Stark effect of the 7d ² D _3/2-state. For electric field strengthsE?25 kV/cm the Stark shifts are considerably greater than the hyperfine splitting. Therefore the crossing signals for the case of decoupled hyperfine structure could be detected. The following values of the magnetic hyperfine constantA and the Stark parameterβ were deduced: ¦A¦=55(1) Mc/sec·g _J /0.8, ¦β¦=0.20(4) Mc/sec/(kV/cm)²·g _J /0.8 andA/β>0. The widths of the signals yielded the mean lifetimeτ=2.7(5)·10^?8 sec· 0.8/g _J . Sign and values ofA andβ are discussed.     

Mode-crossing signals of high order on the 4d 95s 2 2 D 5/2 state of Cd II isotopes

In the linearly polarized radiation field of a 442 nm He-Cd laser containing a natural isotope mixture, saturation-induced mode-crossing signals of the 4d ⁹5s ^{2 2} _5/2 state of Cd II are observed due to the even as well as the odd isotopes. The signal width of about 10^?4 T yields high resolution. Thus the signal splitting respective to the magnetic quantum number can be resolved. Theg _J - andg _F -factors of the² D _5/2 state are determined as follows:g _J=1.1980±0.0036,g _F(F=2)=1.397±0.008,g _F(F=3)=1.002±0.009.     

Polarisierte Anregung der metastabilen 6s 5d-Terme im Ba I-Spektrum und Messung derg J-Faktoren

In an atomic beam experiment Ba-atoms were excited in the metastable levels of the 6s 5d-configuration by optical pumping and electron impact. The three states 6s 5d ¹ D ₂ and³ D _1,2 were populated by optical excitation of the 6s 6p ¹ P ₁- and³ P ₁-level resp., which decay partly into the metastable states. The¹ D ₂- and³ D ₃-level could be excited and aligned by impact of 50 eV-electrons. Radiofrequency transitions between Zeemansublevels were detected by resonance scattering of light and theg _J-values of the four 6s 5d-levels were measured:g _J(^1D ₂)=1.0032 (2),g _J(^3D ₁)=0.4986 (2),g _J(^3D ₂)=1.1638 (2) andg _J(^3D ₃)=1.3341 (2).     

Stark-Effekt-Untersuchungen der Hyperfeinstruktur der 5s25d2D3/2- und 5s25d2D3/2-Terme im In I-Spektrum

The level-crossing technique with combined electric and magnetic fields was used to investigate the hyperfine structure of the 5s ²5d ² D _3/2- and 5s ²6d ² D _3/2-stedes of the In I-spectrum. From the shifts of the level-crossing signals due to the Stark effect of the electric field the Stark constantsβ of both states were deduced: 5s ²5d ² D _3/2: ¦β¦=0.33(3) Mc/(kV/cm)² 5s ²6d ² D _3/2: ¦β¦=6(1) Mc/(kV/cm)². By theoretical calculations with wave functions of the Coulomb approximation one can show, that the Stark effect in both states is mainly due to admixtures of the 5s ²6p- resp.5s ²7p-configuration.     

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.     

Nuclearg-factors of theJ π=21/2+isomer in112In and theJ π=6+ 112Sn

Theg-factor of theJ ^π=21/2⁺ isomeric state in¹¹¹In (T _1/2=13.3 ns) and of theJ ^π=6⁺ isomeric state in¹¹²Sn (T _1/2=13.7 ns) were measured using the spin rotation method. The result obtained for theJ ^π=21/2⁺ level in¹¹¹In,g=+0.47 (2), indicates that this state has an almost pure ((πg _9/2)^?1 νg _7/2 νd _5/2) shell model configuration. The experimental valueg=+0.04 (3) for theJ ^π=6⁺ isomer in¹¹²Sn agrees with the theoretical value calculated within the frame of the BCS model.     

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.     

Fragmented 2d 5/2, 1g 7/2 and 1g 9/2 deep proton-hole states of207TI

The three proton-hole states ?2d_5/2, 1g_7/2 and 1g_9/2 are found to be fragmented as a result of coupling of these states with the 3^?, 5^?, 2⁺, 4⁺ and 6⁺ collective states of²⁰⁸Pb. The excited states in²⁰⁸Pb (t,α) reaction can be quantitatively explained in terms of altered 2d_5/2, 1g_7/2 and 1g_9/2 states with the hole-core coupling model.     

Bestimmung derg J-Faktoren in den Zuständen 62 P 3/2 und 82 P 3/2 von133Cs

The hyperfine structures of the 6² P _3/2- and 8² P _3/2-states of¹³³Cs have been investigated by optical double resonance in a strong magnetic field. The Landé-g-factors and the hfs coupling constants were found to be:g _J(6² P _3/2)=1.3340(3)g _J(8² P _3/2)=1.3342(2)a(6² P _3/2)=50.02(25) MHza(8² P _3/2)=7.644(25) MHz. Contrarily to recent measurements, theg _J-factors agree well with the value calculated from the Landé formula.     

ESR line shift in NiSnCl6·6H2O at very low temperatures

Electron spin resonance in a single-ground-state magnet, NiSnCl₆·6H₂O, has been studied at temperatures between 83 mK and 4.2 K. Below 1 K, the resonance lines show marked shifts, which can be described quantitatively in terms of exchange shift due to polarization effects treated by McMillan and Opechowski. The shifts give 2J = ?(0.55 ± 0.15) × 10^?2 cm^?1 for the antiferromagnetic exchange interaction among the Ni²⁺ ions in this crystal. The value of 2J is sub-critical in the sense that no spontaneous long-range order can be expected in this singlet-ground-state magnet.     

Untersuchung der Hyperfeinstruktur des 62 P 1/2-Zustandes von133Cs im starken Magnetfeld mit der optischen Doppelresonanzmethode

The hyperfine structure of the 6² P _1/2-state of¹³³Cs has been measured by optical double resonance in a strong magnetic field. From the positions of the magnetic dipole transitionsδm _J =±1,δm _I =0 theg _J -factorg _J(6² P _1/2)=0.66590(9) and the magnetic hfs-coupling constanta(6² P _1/2)=291.90(12) MHz could be derived.     

Core polarization and 5/2+ states in91Nb

The energies and spectroscopic factors ofJ ^π=5/2⁺ states of nucleus⁹¹Nb excited via a reaction transferring a proton to the 2d _5/2 orbit of⁹⁰Zr target state have been calculated. Effective two-body interaction used has been extracted from the experimentally observed two-body energies of (1g ₉ ^2/?1 (n) 2d _5/2(n)), (1g ₉ ^2/?1 (n) 1g _9/2(p)) and (1g _9/2(p)-2d _9/2(n)) multiplets in⁹⁰Zr,⁹⁰Nb and⁹²Nb nuclei respectively. Most of the calculated energies and the strengths ofJ ^π=5/2⁺ levels have reasonably good counterparts in the experimental spectrum, however the calculation shows about 17% strength lying at 6.8 MeV, without having a confirmed counterpart in the observed level scheme. The reduced transition strengthsB(M1) forM l transitions from 5/2^? T>(11/2) state to the various components of 5/2⁺ T<(=9/2) state have also been reported; but the corresponding experimental values are not available. The main feature of the reduced transition strengths is that theM1 transition to the state at 3.69 MeV is inhibited whereas that to the state at 6.79 MeV is enhanced, the relevant core-configuration, interfering destructively in the former case and constructively in the latter.     

Precision measurements of the nuclear magnetic dipole moments of6Li,7Li,23Na,39K and41K

Using the atomic beam magnetic resonance method and using the technique of separated oscillatory fields in combination with the triple resonance method the ratiosg _I /g _J of the stable alkali isotopes Li, Na and K in the²S_1/2-ground state have been measured at magnetic fields of about 3 kOe. Frequency shifts analogous to the Bloch-Siegert-shift, expected from theory, were observed and eliminated by extrapolation to vanishing rf-field strength. The results, uncorrected for atomic diamagnetism, are:⁶Li:g _I /g _J =?0.22356978(10)·10^{?3 7}Li:g _I /g _J =?0.59042719(10)·10^{?3 23}Na:g _I /g _J =?0.40184406(40)·10^{?3 39}K:g _I /g _J =?0.07088613 (6)·10^{?3 41}K:g _I /g _J =?0.03890837 (4)·10^?3 Furthermore, the hyperfine structure splitting constants in the² S _1/2-ground states have been determined. Using the most precise absoluteg _J -values available so far one can calculate absolute values for the uncorrectedg _I - factors. The results are:Δν/MHz ?g _I·10^{3 6}Li: 228.2052590(30) 0.4476540 (3)⁷Li: 803.5040866(10) 1.1822130 (6)²³Na: 1771.6261288(10) 0.8046108 (8)³⁹K: 461.7197202(14) 0.14193489(12)⁴¹K: 254.0138720(20) 0.07790600 (8) By comparing the absoluteg _I - factors with measurements received by the NMR-method, the chemical shifts of the NMR-frequencies caused by the hydrate surrounding of the alkali ions in the NMR-probe are determined.     

Measurement of elastic J/ψ photoproduction at HERA

The reaction γ p → J/ψ p has been studied in ep interactions using the ZEUS detector at HERA. The cross section for elastic J/ψ photoproduction has been measured as a function of the photon-proton centre of mass energy W in the range 40 < W < 140 GeV at a median photon virtuality Q ² of 5 × 10^?5 GeV². The photoproduction cross section, σ_{γp→ J/ψp}, is observed to rise steeply with W. A fit to the data presented in this paper to determine the parameter δ in the form σ_{γp→ J/ψp} α W ^δ yields the value δ = 0.92±0.14±0.10. The differential cross section dσ/d ¦t¦is presented over the range ¦t¦< 1.0 GeV² where t is the square of the four-momentum exchanged at the proton vertex. dσ/d ¦t¦falls exponentially with a slope parameter of $4.6pm 0.4_{-0.6}^{+0.4} {? GeV}^{-2}$. The measured decay angular distributions are consistent with s-channel helicity conservation.     

Messung der magnetischen Momente der tiefsten 2+-Zustände für einige Dy-, Er- und Yb-Isotope

With the Mössbauer technique, the hyperfine splittings of the lowest 2⁺-states of some Dy-, Er-, and Yb-isotopes were observed at 4.2 °K in the paramagnetic compounds Dy-Al-garnet, ErCl₃·6H₂O, and YbCl₃·6H₂O. Most of the sources were produced by photonuclear reactions. Ratios ofg-factors for neighbouring isotopes could be determined with small systematic errors. The results are:g ¹⁶⁴/g ¹⁶⁶=1.103 (15),g ¹⁶⁶/g ¹⁶⁸=0.960 (13) for Er, andg ¹⁷⁰/g ¹⁷²=1.009 (15),g ¹⁷⁰/g ¹⁷⁴=0.994 (13) for Yb. Using known values for the effective magnetic fields at the nuclei, the followingg-factors were obtained:¹⁶⁴Dy 0.336 (14),¹⁶⁴Er 0.353 (10),¹⁶⁶Er 0.320 (8),¹⁶⁸Er 0.333 (8),¹⁷⁰Yb 0.335 (6),¹⁷²Yb 0.332 (8),¹⁷⁴Yb 0.337 (8).     

Facteur de landé du niveau (6s26p 7s) 3P1 du plomb et constante de structure hyperfine de l'isotope 207Pb dans ce niveau

The Landé factor g_J of the (6s² 6p 7s)( ³P₁ level of the even isotopes of lead has been measured by Fabry-Pérot interferometry. The result is: g_J=1.3500(4). The agreement with the previously measured hyperfine splitting of this level for the isotope ²⁰⁷Pb and with the level crossing results is good when small corrections (nuclear Zeeman interaction, second-order hyperfine and Zeeman corrections) are taken into account. The corrected hyperfine dipole coupling constant for this level of ²⁰⁷Pb is: A=293.60(13) mK.
