The high resolution technique of collinear laser ion beam spectroscopy is used to determine the hyperfine structure constants of 6 metastable even-parity levels (E < 10 000 cm−1) and 19 odd-parity levels (E < 27 000 cm−1) of 143Nd+. The magnetic dipole interaction constants A and the electric quadrupole interaction constants B were determined with high accuracy. For six levels the hyperfine interaction constants were measured for the first time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
