Hyperfine structure measurements in the ground states4 F 3/2,4 F 5/2 and4 F 7/2 of Ta181 with the atomic beam magnetic resonance method

Applying a recently developed evaporation technique for refractory elements the following results have been obtained for Ta¹⁸¹ in an atomic beam magnetic resonance experiment studying the hyperfine structure of 3 levels of the ground state multiplet⁴ F: $$\begin{gathered} g_J (^4 F_{3/2} ) = 0.45024 (4) \hfill \\ \Delta v (^4 F_{3/2} ;F = 5 \leftrightarrow F = 4) = 1822.389 (6) MHz \hfill \\ \Delta v (^4 F_{3/2} ;F = 4 \leftrightarrow F = 3) = 2325.537 (2) MHz \hfill \\ \Delta v (^4 F_{5/2} ;F = 6 \leftrightarrow F = 5) = 1451.476 (7) MHz \hfill \\ \Delta v (^4 F_{5/2} ;F = 5 \leftrightarrow F = 4) = 1537.530 (8) MHz \hfill \\ \Delta v (^4 F_{5/2} ;F = 4 \leftrightarrow F = 3) = 1444.685 (2) MHz \hfill \\ \Delta v (^4 F_{7/2} ;F = 4 \leftrightarrow F = 3) = 1218.372 (2) MHz. \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$ From these measurements the following constants of the magnetic dipole interaction (A) and the electric quadrupole interaction (B) have been derived: $$\begin{gathered} A (^4 F_{3/2} ) = 509.0801 (8) MHz \hfill \\ B (^4 F_{3/2} ) = - 1012.251 (8) MHz \hfill \\ A (^4 F_{5/2} ) = 313.4681 (8) MHz \hfill \\ B (^4 F_{5/2} ) = - 834.820 (12) MHz. \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$
