Stark and Zeeman spectroscopies of 4f 66s6p 7G1-6 levels in Sm I under external electric and magnetic fields

Systematic study of hyperfine structures, Zeeman and Stark effects in Sm I is performed for the lowest ⁷G_1-6 levels belonging to the configuration 4f ⁶6s6p by atomic-beam laser spectroscopy with fluorescence detection. The hyperfine coupling constants of ⁷G_2-6 levels are determined. From the Zeeman splittings for the 4f ⁶6s ^{2 7}F_2-6 ? 4f ⁶6s6p ⁷G_2-6 transitions, g-values are determined for the ⁷G_2.6 levels and the precision is improved by several orders of magnitude. From the Stark splittings for the ⁷F_0-3 ? ⁷G_1-3 transitions, tensor polarizabilities α ₂(J) are determined for the upper ⁷G_1-3 levels. Particularly for the ⁷G₁ level (15 650.55 cm^?1) which has close-lying opposite-parity level, the isotope dependence of α ₂(J) is clearly observed for the first time.
