The hyperfine structure of the 3067-A line of 15-d 205 Bi was measured by optical spectroscopy. The results are A( i P i/2 ) = 166(4)x 10~3 cm" 1 , giving \x = 4.13(11)/^, and 192 (14) x 10" 3 cm" 1 for the 205 Bi-209 Bi isotope shift. A reexamination of the 207 Bi hfs shows accord with previous spectroscopic results \p. = 4.07(2)^] , but not with the recent nuclear orientation finding by Johnston, Kaplan, and Stone that ^( 207 Bi) is substantially larger than J U ( 209 Bi). Calculations of magnetic moments of odd bismuth isotopes, including configuration mixing and pion-exchange contributions, are in agreement with our experiments.
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.
