LASER SPECTROSCOPY OF CALCIUM ISOTOPES

Isotope shifts of all the stable isotopes and the hyperfine splittings of 115Sn, 117Sn and 119Sn have been measured in the transitions 5s25p23P0-5s 25p6s3P1 at 286 nm in Sn I.

description Isotope shifts of all the stable isotopes and the hyperfine splittings of 115Sn, 117Sn and 119Sn have been measured in the transitions 5s25p23P0-5s 25p6s3P1 at 286 nm in Sn I. Tin atoms in a collimated beam to reduce the Doppler width were excited by radiation at 286 nm generated by frequency doubling the light from a CW ring dye laser. Spectra were recorded by monitoring the subsequent decay and calibrated by optical heterodyning. The relative positions of the isotopes are, in MHz: 112; 0.0(1.0), 114;319.5(1.3), 115;412.7(1.1), 116;640.0(0.6), 117;746.8(0.7), 118;945.2(0.7), 119;1039.3(1.1), 120;1214.4(0.5), 122;1448.5(0.7), 124;1656.0(0.7). The bracketed uncertainties are added in quadrature to give the errors of the isotope shifts. For odd-even shifts involving 112, 114, 120, 122 and 124 an extra 0.5 MHz must be added in quadrature. The hyperfine splitting factors of 5s25p6s3P1 are, in MHz: A(115)=-4395.4 (2.1), A(117)=-4790.71(1.7), A(119)=-5014.8(1.9). The results are interpreted in terms of the electronic and nuclear properties of the tin isotopes.
