The 87Sr isotope has an extremely complex hyperfine structure
(HFS) as a consequence of simultaneous mixing of the 3F2,
3F3, 3F4 and 1F3 fine structure
components in the 5s32f state. The resultant hyperfine spectrum
of the 5s4d 3D3-5s32f 3F4 (364 nm)
transition consists of 74 hyperfine components. HFS
constants A, B for both upper and lower levels have
been derived from the single-electron contribution factors
a5s, a4d3/2, a4d5/2, b4d3/2 and b4d5/2 using Breit-Wills formalism.
Isotope ratio enhancement factors have been computed for the
5s5p 3P2-5s21s 3S1 (325 nm),
5s4d 3D3-5s32f 3F4 (364 nm) and the
5s2 1S0-5s5p 3P1 (689.7 nm) transitions for
isotope selective excitation/ionization of 89Sr and
90Sr isotopes in collinear fashion. The results obtained
are comparable to that of the experimental results reported
earlier. Simulations have been carried out for various laser
linewidths and acceleration potentials considering appropriate
abundances, HFS of the odd isotope and mass
shifts of the constituent isotopes. This method can be used for
optimization of experimental configurations with respect to
acceleration potentials and appropriate laser linewidths in order
to obtain better selectivities for the 89Sr and 90Sr
isotopes which allows the long term monitoring of these
isotopes in the environment. The present study shows that the
HFS of the 87Sr isotope has a significant
effect on the isotope selective excitation of 89Sr and
90Sr isotopes.
