Laser Spectroscopy and Mass Measurements on Alkali Isotopes
نویسنده
چکیده
Isotope shifts, spins, hyperfine structures and masses have been measured for the series of the alkali isotopes including the nuclei far from stability. The method of laser spectroscopy and its combinations with rf excitation are described. Some results are discussed, namely the first observation of the red doublet D~-D2 of francium, and the study of shell effects and changes of shape with mass and 6 (r 2 ) measurements for Rb and Na isotopes.

Design, Construction and Calibration of a Laser Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer
A time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS) developed in our laboratory at Isfahan University of Technology is described here. The TOF-MS instrument uses laser as the ionization source which provides an opportunity to investigate the ions formed in laser ablation or desorption. The TOF-MS has an ionization chamber containing an accelerator and an ion lens to focus the ions into a one meter line...
متن کاملIsotope shifts of natural Sr+ measured by laser fluorescence in a sympathetically cooled Coulomb crystal
We measured by laser spectroscopy the isotope shifts between naturally-occurring even-isotopes of strontium ions for both the 5s 2S1/2 → 5p 2P1/2 (violet) and the 4d 2D3/2 → 5p 2P1/2 (infrared) dipole-allowed optical transitions. Fluorescence spectra were taken by simultaneous measurements on a two-component Coulomb crystal in a linear Paul trap containing 10–10 laser-cooled Sr ions. The isotop...

The competition between spherical and deformed configurations gives rise to shape coexistence in the neutron-deficient isotopes around Z~82 and N~104 [1] while on the neutron-rich side, effects due to octupole deformation in the vicinity of N~133 could be expected [2]. In order to determine to which extent the ground and isomeric states of these nuclides are affected by these phenomena, an exte...

The cavity ringdown technique has been implemented for electronic spectroscopy of jet-cooled CuSi produced in a pulsed UV laser vaporization plasma reactor. A time-of-flight mass spectrometer is used to simultaneously monitor species produced in the supersonic expansion and allows correlation studies to be performed. Seven rotationally resolved vibronic bands have been measured near 400 nm, yie...

High-precision analysis of the 17O / 16O isotope ratio in water and water vapor is of interest in hydrological, paleoclimate, and atmospheric science applications. Of specific interest is the parameter 17Oexcess (117O), a measure of the deviation from a linear relationship between 17O / 16O and 18O / 16O ratios. Conventional analyses of 117O of water are obtained by fluorination of H2O to O2 th...
